Did you know that the oldest recorded joke in human history was written on a clay tablet almost 4,000 years ago? And guess what... it was a toot joke! Get ready to laugh out loud as Mira and Finn travel back in time to uncover the hilarious history of jokes and the world's very first comedians!
Discover how Ancient Greeks read from a massive joke book called The Laughter Lover, and learn about the incredible "licensed fools" of the Middle Ages. These court jesters wore colorful patchwork clothes, carried silly wands, and were the only people brave enough to make fun of powerful kings! You won't believe the true story of Roland the Farter, a medieval entertainer who was rewarded with a giant mansion and thirty acres of land just for doing one jump, one whistle, and one toot on Christmas Day!
Plus, meet a royal jester who told jokes with a pet monkey on his shoulder, and an actor who danced for 100 miles straight just to make people smile. Join us on this giggly adventure to find out why laughter is literally contagious!
