Mixing chuckles into a virtual happy hour

What’s so funny about a pandemic? Nothing, unless your employer gets a comedian to log in to your next Zoom happy hour.

Laugh.Events, a firm that books comedians for online events, is offering a 20% discount during March’s Employee Appreciation Month to employers who want to shake up their online morale-boosting profile.

Laugh.Events says it consults with employers to create customized comedy shows for employees who need more than a cocktail to lighten the mood.

Fox Sports Network and WebMD are among the companies that have set up these events for their employees, bringing them personalized comedy and a break from the long work week, according to a company spokeswoman.
