A boy in Canada has found a way to help cheer up his community during the pandemic. Callaghan McLaughlin has been running a joke stand at the end of his driveway in British Columbia for the past week where he offers free laughs to anyone passing by.
“There’s a lot of stress in the world,” the six-year-old comedian says. “And I kind of want to get some smiles on people’s faces.”
Neighbors can drive by or walk up to hear one of the 16 or 17 jokes Callaghan knows. He’s been learning from a kid-friendly joke book with one-liners and practicing on his parents for six months. One of his favorites is: “What’s red, white, and blue?” Wait for it … “A sad candy cane.”
