Different audiences process information differently. Bob Hope was known for his machine gun style delivery, where he would talk very fast telling joke after joke. This worked for him usually, but in different parts of the country he didn’t do so well when he first started because the audience couldn’t keep up with his fast pace. In the biography “Bob Hope A Tribute” by Raymond Strait Bob had a tough time in Texas.

I just found a wonderful station on AOL Radio called XM Laugh USA. This station plays live recordings of all the great comedians of yesterday and today. I have only been listening to it for about an hour and a half and I have heard classic routines from the old comedians like Henny Youngman, Mort Sahl, and Mel Brooks to today’s contemporaries like Jerry Seinfeld, Jeff Foxworthy, and Ray Romano. The comedy is clean and very entertaining. I sat around the office laughing while I was getting my work done.

There is something for everybody on this station; I am listening to the neurotic comedy of Woody Allen. I forgot just how funny he was when he did Stand-up comedy. Most people don’t even realize that Woody Allen started out as a comedy writer on “Your Show of Shows” in the 1950’s. He started doing stand-up comedy in 1960 and then segued his comedy into writing and staring in movies.
 

Before Woody Allen came on I heard a classic routine from Phyllis Diller. There is something for everyone. Unlike a radio station if you have XM radio you can listen to it anywhere. I haven’t laughed this hard listening to the radio since I used to listen to Dr. Demento when I was in high school and college.
 

If you have a computer or XM radio turn to this station and enjoy the comedy. If you aren’t feeling well or just not having a good day this station is sure to get you to forget your troubles and may even help you produce a few endorphins. This is such a great avenue for laughter therapy.
