National Joke Day

National Joke Day is a light-hearted celebration that encourages people to share laughter and merriment through the art of humour. Held annually on August 16th, this day provides an opportunity for individuals to indulge in comedic anecdotes, witty one-liners, and playful pranks with friends, family, and colleagues. The day exists to spread joy and amusement, from classic jokes passed down through generations to clever puns, as participants join together to evoke smiles and lift spirits with those around them. Regardless of the medium, the emphasis is on fostering a sense of camaraderie and bonding with our fellow humans over shared laugher.
