Laughter is a great stress reliever. That's a no-brainer. But it is more than just a pick-me-up kind of thing; it can have short-term and long-term benefits that can actually induce physical changes in your body. Don't trust us? How about the Mayo Clinic? They seem to do their research.

Let's be real, comedy can be cathartic when it comes to talking about mental health.

The truth is, these are conversations worth having. It's not easy -- not even close. But the art of comedy can be a fantastic way to process and release trauma, and to shed light on the struggles that so many of us have faced, especially during these past two years.

In this special episode of the Non Prophet's podcast, we're talking all things mental health and taking a deep dive into the nitty gritty of coping with trauma - with a healthy dose of humor, naturally.

We're talking about mental health up in this motherf*cker... are you here for it?

So you want to be taken seriously at work? Maybe try to dial up the humor.

No, we're not saying you have to be the class clown. Instead, try to be yourself and loosen up, maybe crack a joke now and then. It's good for you and it's great for your office atmosphere.

The folks at Forbes explain it way better, and they give you 10 reasons to take humor in the office more -- well -- seriously.

Spoiler alert: it involves success... So I'd check it out!😉

If and when it's employed properly, humor can be a key to success at work. Here's how.

There's a lot of talk about the work environment, it's a serious matter, and it needs action.

The thing is, do the strategies have to be so serious? After all, a good environment means people feel good and relaxed to take on the day's challenges. So, why don't you start your collaborators' day with a good time?

Memes can be fun and light-hearted, chats can be the space for keyboard heroes, but sometimes seeing your partners laugh is what you need to kickstart a day full of collaboration and productivity.

Let's talk! 👉 https://www.ustreat.com/corporate-comedy-shows

On March 11, 2020, WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and countries started to take measures. Almost everybody started working from home, and at first, it was a big woohoo "I get to stay in my pajamas all day" kind of thing.

Days, months, and a whole year went by, and it turned into more of a boohoo sentiment. I think it's safe to say the "workplace" has changed for good. And while it has its benefits, connecting with people and disconnecting from work have become challenging. So why not have a good laugh now and then with the team of people braving through these trying times?

We can help you bring back fun to your zoom meetings. We know you've tried; we know it's hard. Leave it to us 😉

You know how the Wonderful Wizard of Oz was just a guy in a room full of tricks and a big screen? If U Streat Comedy were Oz, then Stephen Campbell would be our Wonderful Wizard, only cuter and probably a much better person...

What Stephen actually is, is the founder of this house of laughter and fun; you can find him at music festivals across the globe working with Insomniac Events and a whole slew of other event producers when the world is not (that) crazy.

He also hosts the Non-Prophets Podcast alongside Franqi French, where they focus on social issues and chat with nonprofit leaders who are tackling those issues -- all with a healthy dose of humor. Because of course.

Above all, he loves making people laugh and helping the world one charity event at a time. You can find him on Instagram

They say it helps if you take life with a grain of salt (and maybe even a shot of tequila.)

In this episode of the Non-Prophets podcast, we're talking with Pat Colleluri, the brother of HEADStrong's late founder Nick Colleluri.

HEADstrong was formed in response to seeing the hardships families endure when finding treatment for their loved ones who have been diagnosed with cancer. In this episode, Pat talks about his outlook on life and teaches us a thing or two about channeling grief in a socially beneficial way.

Listen to our stories, as we each share the grief that we have been experiencing during these challenging of times.

There's nothing like an early morning laugh to help you feel less stressed - and that's no joke. Studies show that laughter stimulates your heart (quite literally), lungs and muscles, and increases the endorphins that are released to your brain to activate and relieve your stress response.

So why not share your morning routine with us through our virtual comedy shows?! We have been fortunate to produce dozens of corporate virtual comedy shows online throughout the pandemic, and other virtual fundraising events as well.

The business models of today are changing.

According to Forbes 2020 article, “Younger generations that are entering the workforce want to connect with a purpose or work for a company that has real meaning. Companies that don't have a clear or meaningful purpose will struggle to attract talent and customers.”

U Streat’s mission is to provide an alternative way of thinking through humor, an alternative business model through social enterprise, and an alternative way to fundraise through art. We aim to raise $25 million for partner nonprofits, create 250 self-sustaining jobs for comedians and artists, and to inspire 50 new social enterprises to employ a business model that meshes passion, social, and financial incentive by 2025.

Let us help you bring your company's purpose and values to center stage — literally and figuratively!
