A non-profit organization
dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyles
through laughter
Funny Bones Improv offers laughter therapy programs, including customized interactive improvised performances as well as Laughter Yoga sessions. Our programs have proven to positively impact any hospital’s child life services programs, as well as the patient’s and family’s personal experience. As advocates for laughter, we have seen firsthand the positive and healthful – both short term and long term – effects of laughter and believe that it is our responsibility to continue to share it in hospitals across the country.
“MH told me she absolutely LOVED the show. She even asked me if she could come back next month just to see the show, even if she isn’t inpatient! Thank you so much for coming to see us every month! The kids really enjoy it and it is so good to see them laugh uncontrollably like that!!

Four Is A Magic Number January 19, 2012
As we begin our 4th year of bringing laughter to children and their families at children’s hospitals, we are excited to announce our 4th Chicago hospital. Funny Bones Improv will spin the Wheel of Improv for the first time at Advocate Lutheran General Children’s Hospital on Tuesday, March 13th at 7:00pm.
Located in Park Ridge, Illinois, the child life and teen life program at Advocate Lutheran General Children’s Hospital was created to assist in alleviating stress and anxiety by providing extra emotional and physical support to those children and adolescents that need help getting through this challenging time.
