This week, NEWisco Weekend wants you to feel the belly-rumbling joy of laughter. We look at how laughter really is the best medicine, laughing at funerals, and competitive laughter.

Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba brings the cover story with NEWisco Comedian Rob Brackenridge. And we have a feature of another NEWisco comedian, Kristin Lytie.

Isiah and the New People are the musical guests and of course, Pete Schwaba also brings the Classic Movie Pick. So get ready to laugh!
