Plan an evening of laughter

Host a comedy night. For the 21+ crowd, if you are fortunate enough to have a comedy club in your town consider partnering with them for your unplugged night. It’s easy to avoid checking your phone when you’re too busy laughing. You can also see if your city has Pop Up Comedy Nights such as www.donttellcomedy.com where you catch comedy in some unusual places like backyards, rooftops, and boxing clubs.

Helping others also lifts everyone’s spirits. Use the gathering as a way to raise money for a cause you care about. Donate a portion of ticket sales to a local nonprofit organization.
