July kicks off with International Joke Day, celebrated unofficially on July 1 all over the world. Around here, we believe that laughter really is the best medicine. That’s why we wanted to mark the date.
Luckily for us, Portugal has a few comedians who are dedicated to trying to get as many laughs out of us as possible. And the truth is that most of them succeed!
It’s also true that sometimes less positive situations make for great jokes (without offending or devaluing the seriousness of the problems). Humor is a good tool to help deal with and overcome certain situations.
So, with that in mind, we’ve decided to put together some of the best national comedy podcasts to cheer you up. These are our suggestions.
The order is random; around here we love and listen to them all.
