Yakov Smirnoff Is Getting Serious About Laughter

(He's On A Mission To Get The Whole World Laughing)

What: Business of Laughter

Where: Missouri State University, Springfield, MO.

When: May 21 through May 25, 2007 (Mon-Fri) 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM

Branson, MO (Wednesday, April 18, 2007) Yakov Smirnoff is at it again. In the midst of preparing for the opening of his brand new show on April 18 in Branson, Missouri, Yakov is on a mission. Once again he'll enter the quiet halls of scholastic learning and liven things up with his new class, the "Business of Laughter". Yakov will be teaching the class in May for the Business School at Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri. "I'd like to find a way to teach the whole world the value of laughter...but if not the whole world, at least the Ozarks," says Yakov.

Yakov's Masters Degree in Psychology from the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania gives him the opportunity to practically apply his personal mission statement - "to experience happiness and teach it to the world with passion through comedy and sensitivity". Yakov says, "Laughter is serious business. You can achieve laughter by developing skills to perfect your delivery in communication and then applying those skills for practical success or you could just have somebody pull your finger. And we'll do both in my class!"

"This class will focus on communication and how laughter evolves from an awareness of the other person's feelings. Once you master the art of communicating well - and I believe laughter is a gauge of good communication - you're ready to succeed both in your professional and personal life," says Yakov.

The "Business of Laughter" taught by Yakov is open to students of any discipline and the general public. For more information on attending Yakov's one week class call 417-836-4126 or 877-678-2005. Students currently enrolled at MSU may go on-line and add the class via the web registration system.

Yakov's All-New Branson Show opens on April 18 at 9:30 AM. For reservations or further information call 1-800-942-8226, 417-336-6542, or visit www.yakov.com
