T Dot Event: Michael Blackson 'The African King of Comedy' at Yuk Yuks -

Laughter: A movement (usually involuntary) of the muscles of the face, particularly of the lips, with a peculiar expression of the eyes, indicating merriment, satisfaction, or derision, and usually attended by a sonorous and interrupted expulsion of air from the lungs. *Sounds Good*

With 'Family Day' long weekend upon us, perhaps some would like to partake in some 'laughter' (it's good for you) in Ajax, Ontario on February 19th, at the Yuk Yuks Comedy Club featuring Michael Blackson (I can't believe he is still using this name!) who was a regular on BET's comedy show 'Comic View'.
