Laughter is the Best Medicine

Two-time Emmy and Writers Guild of America award winner, John Mulaney headlines this year’s gala. Currently making waves with his From Scratch tour, Mulaney has been performing at sold out shows across North America. This May, he joins our hometown hero Will Arnett, co-host of the immensely popular SmartLess and star of Murderville on Netflix. A crowd favourite at Laughter since 2012, Arnett is back to host by popular demand.

Both these leading men take funny business very seriously. So be prepared to laugh your guts out. And don’t worry, we’ll be here to fix you right up again.

The cause

MICHAEL GARRON HOSPITAL IS THE HEART OF THE EAST.

For nearly a century, we’ve provided healthcare tailored to the needs of our community, and offered it with humility and kindness. The community we serve is unique in Toronto and one of the most diverse in Canada, with higher proportions of newcomers and refugees compared to many parts of the city.

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of effective, community-based healthcare. Throughout it, we have made it our mission to protect people in East Toronto and beyond by bringing them convenient COVID-19 vaccination and testing, and by delivering truly life-saving care. 

Your support of Laughter is the Best Medicine ensures Michael Garron Hospital can meet the evolving health challenges of our community by investing in our hospital’s most urgent needs, from the purchase of state-of-the-art medical equipment to the ongoing physical transformation of our facilities.

What’s more, your support is an investment in the future of every member of our community. Because when people are healthy, they’re better able to contribute to their family, neighbourhood and Canadian society. And that’s worth smiling about.
