In a world often weighed down by stress and turmoil, the simple act of laughter can be a powerful antidote. Recent studies have revealed the myriad of benefits that comedy and laughter bring to both physical and mental health, reinforcing the age-old adage that laughter truly is the best medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van Wert Live has asked, and the responses have been heard loud and clear: One of the most requested genres is comedy. This Spring already we are bringing the comedy legend Jay Leno to the Niswonger stage on March 23. This show is almost sold out and is sure to be a night of fantastic laughter. Jay Leno is the recipient of many honors, including Emmy, People\u2019s Choice, and TV Guide awards, just to name a few. This No. 1 Late Night Show host takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. this Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
