What actually makes people happy? Stand-up comedy + a live lecture on the science of happiness (and why most advice you've heard is BS)
About this Event

Your favourite wellness influencer got it wrong. That podcast got it wrong. Even your therapist might be oversimplifying it.

Dr. Gillian Mandich is a happiness scientist at the University of Manitoba who has spent her career studying what actually makes people happy, and it's more surprising, more counterintuitive, and more actionable than anything you've seen on Instagram.

On August 22nd, she's bringing that to Laugh & Learn.

Here's how the night works:

First → stand-up comedy to warm up the room

Then → Gillian takes over

No wellness buzzwords. No toxic positivity. Just a scientist telling you what genuinely works and what's a complete waste of your time.

What you'll actually learn:

  • What the research actually says about happiness
  • Why most popular happiness advice doesn't hold up to science
  • What small, evidence-based changes actually move the needle

This is for you if:

  • You've tried every wellness trend and still feel the same
  • You're curious about psychology and what actually makes life better
  • You want a night out that's funny AND genuinely useful
