“Laugh & Learn” (for All Ages) comes to Seekonk on October 1

Imagine a comedy club in a school or a library, and you’ve got “Laugh & Learn,” an educational show that entertains while it explains.

It’s happening during “Celebrate Seekonk Day” on Saturday, Oct. 1 from 3:00 to 4:00 pm, at the Seekonk Public Library, 410 Newman Ave. in Seekonk.

Dave Maloof – a teacher, comedian, writer and musician – will discuss how and why we laugh, the health benefits of laughter, and how comedy is written and performed.

He’ll also perform (singing while playing ukulele or keyboard) his own comedy songs, including “My Wife Is In Love with the Dog” and his parody of “Hush Little Baby,” as well as some of his own jokes (including the one about how his daughter doesn’t even look like him).

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Seekonk Cultural Council, a local agency which is funded by the Mass. Cultural Council, a state agency.
