"Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face." —Victor Hugo
Sometimes there is nothing more refreshing than a nice – deep - belly laugh. A laugh that makes your side hurt, your eyes water and your breath hard to catch. A laugh so powerful that - at least for a moment - you forget all about your troubles.
In a world with so much uncertainty, we invite you to bring your troubles and hear stories that make you say, “That’s Funny!” Our tellers will delight you with stories of joy and sadness, success and failures, agreements and conflicts. And all of them are stories that will make you laugh. Come join us as we laugh our troubles away.
Our featured teller is Jamie Brickhouse.
"Laughter is an instant vacation." —Milton Berle

Vijai Nathan
Ms. Vijai Nathan is an Indian-American comedian and storyteller making people laugh across America & internationally too!
Vijai's stories have been featured on NPR’s “Snap Judgment” And "Invisibila" Live. She was a contributing writer for The Washington Post Magazine’s Date Lab.
She has toured with her one-woman comedy shows: “Good Girls Don’t, But Indian Girls Do;” “Woman On Top,” and “McGoddess.”
She has performed throughout the U.S. and was featured at festivals in Montreal, Singapore, South Africa, London, and Trinidad. She has the honor of being one of the few South Asian artists to be invited to perform at the Kennedy Center, Smithsonian, Library of Congress & Constitution Hall in Washington D.C.
Vijai's humor springs from her experiences of growing up as a "foreigner" in America- despite the fact she was born and raised in a suburb of Washington D.C. She lovingly and hilariously talks about growing up as an Indian in America, dating, cultural clashes with her parents, and the racism she dealt with as a child and now as a comedian and storyteller.
