Is it true that laughter can ward off illness and keep you healthy? Can humor alleviate depression?

Comedians, screenwriters and stand-ups Tobias Persson and Fredrik Andersson meet David Eberhard and explain why laughter therapy without jokes doesn't work and why humor can be successful in the pub. Guaranteed the funniest episode of the podcast!
