“Laughter is the best medicine” -  you must have heard this a million times and rightfully so. But they also say that making someone laugh is the toughest job for an actor. And it's true!

And the best comedians are those who find the hilarious in the most mundane situations, even the saddest ones. With their impeccable comic timing, comedians can turn the grimmest of times into laughter.  

When you laugh, you forget the sorrows and hardships of life, even if it's just for a moment. Even in the sad moments, if you think something is funny, you will laugh.
