Thursday Morning Laughter Club
Weekly Laughter Club on Thursdays (Daytime)
*** DUE TO THE ONGOING COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS – AS FROM MARCH 2020 LAUGHTER CLUB IS SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY.
UPDATE FEBRUARY 2022 – CURRENT RESTRICTIONS IN SCOTLAND STILL REQUIRE MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING INDOORS FOR LAUGHTER YOGA WHICH IN MY VIEW COMPLETELY UNDERMINE THE BENEFITS AND I HAVE NO MOTIVATION NOR DESIRE TO FACILITATE LAUGHTER UNDER THESE RESTRICTIONS.
DUE TO THE HIGH RISK DROPLET TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH LAUGHTER, THERE IS CURRENTLY HUGE UNCERTAINTY ABOUT HOW OR WHEN (OR INDEED IF) WE RESTART EDINBURGH LAUGHTER CLUB AT THE ERIC LIDDELL CENTRE; I AM KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON HOW CHOIRS ARE RESTARTING FACE TO FACE GATHERINGS (LAUGHTER & SINGING HAVE SIMILAR DROPLET TRANSMISSION & PHYSIOLOGY) AND THE RESTRICTIONS THEY IMPOSE – YOUR PATIENCE & UNDERSTANDING IS APPRECIATED ❤️ ***
THURSDAY MORNINGS
11 AM – 12 MIDDAY
ERIC LIDDELL CENTRE, 15 MORNINGSIDE ROAD, EDINBURGH EH10 4DP

*** GIGGLEFLASH ***
Please ALWAYS check the website (or ask to join my mailing list here) in order to check that the club is running on future dates.
The class fee is £5 (£4 concessions) – and this is a MINIMUM recommended donation – feel free to give more!!! EVERY SINGLE PENNY IS DONATED TO THE CARER PROGRAMME at the Eric Liddell Centre. Edinburgh Laughter Club is a not-for-profit community initiative and ALL money raised goes directly to charity – Jo runs Edinburgh Laughter Club entirely voluntarily and donates her time for no payment whatsoever. Carers go free (if registered with us) and anyone who is struggling financially can donate whatever they can genuinely afford.
After running monthly on a Sunday for almost 3 years at the Healthy Life Centre, with effect from 21st February 2013 we moved to our new home at the Eric Liddell Centre and have been running a weekly Thursday morning Laughter Club there, raising money for the Ca(i)re Programme every week since then. A huge thank you to all our members for making this club a massive success and for raising an astounding average of £2.5K per year!!!
Since April 2014, Carers are able to attend for free* thanks to Scottish Government CIS funding.
* Registration in the “Carers’ Laughter Club Project” is required in order to be eligible for a free place and commitment to regular attendance and evaluation is a pre-requisite.
Donations from laughter club members has seen us raise over £19.5K for the Carer Programme at the Eric Liddell Centre (from February 2013 to January 2020); an average of almost £2,800 a year – AMAZING!!!!!
We DO GOOD and we FEEL GOOD!
We meet weekly on Thursdays mornings at The Eric Liddell Centre, 15 Morningside Road, Edinburgh in the South Wing (Ground Floor – fully accessible – although there may sometimes be last minute room changes die to other bookings but there is a lift) from 11am – 12pm.
