Columbia Gears Up for a Weekend of Laughter and Health!
As the holiday season approaches, Columbia is set to host the highly anticipated Healthy Laughter comedy weekend from November 29 to December 1. This fantastic event promises a delightful blend of humor and health, making it a perfect outing for families and friends looking to enjoy some laughs while focusing on wellness.
A Night of Comedy Awaits!
The weekend will kick off with nightly comedy shows featuring national talents like Joey I.L.O. and Donald Martin. These hilarious performers are sure to keep the audience in stitches! Plus, there’s a special treat for those who register for the Health Expo set for Saturday afternoon. Those who take part can enjoy the Saturday night comedy show absolutely free! That’s right—free laughs that you won’t want to miss!
Health Expo: Laughter Meets Wellness
Now, let’s talk about the Health Expo, which will take place on Saturday afternoon. This event is where the real magic happens! Attendees can take advantage of complimentary biometric health screenings provided by PRISMA Health. This is a fantastic opportunity to check in on your health and get some important information without spending a dime.
The Expo doesn’t stop at health screenings, either! Get ready for delicious food trucks, a panel dedicated to healthy discussions, exciting giveaways, vendors showcasing their products, and plenty of music to keep the atmosphere lively. The intent here is simple: combine laughter and fun with meaningful wellness education.
Eunissa Warnock, co-founder of the event and of WF Media Group, expressed her hopes for the weekend saying, “Our hope is that as we’re disseminating information regarding health and wellness, it will start to impact people’s lives.” Yes, indeed! This weekend is about creating a community that cares for one another, in both health and happiness.
A Personal Touch to Healthy Laughter
The journey of Healthy Laughter started 21 years ago in Savannah, Georgia, when Akintunde Warnock, a comedic talent and Eunissa’s husband, set out on a mission to encourage African American men to get prostate exams. To promote this cause, the first 21 individuals who got screened received a four-pack of tickets to Akintunde’s comedy show. Can you believe that? Those tickets sold out faster than hot cakes!
Fast forward to today, Eunissa became determined to bring this impactful event to Columbia after facing her own health scare a few years back. Diagnosed with blood clots in her legs due to stress, she has become a passionate advocate for stress management. “That really shook me, as you could imagine,” she shared. Now she’s channeling that experience into an event that focuses on *laughter as a form of healing* and *health education*.
Mark Your Calendars!
So, if you’re in the Columbia area or can make the trip, mark your calendars! The Healthy Laughter comedy weekend will take place at 124 Diamond Lane. It’s a great chance to enjoy some fantastic comedy while also prioritizing your health and wellness. You can find out more about the event by visiting WFMediaGroupInc.com.

Don’t miss out on this delightful combination of comedy and health education—you’ll leave with a smile and maybe a little more knowledge about caring for your well-being!
