Nashville Public Library Offers a Solution for the Winter Blues Tomorrow Night

Night at the Library Presents “A Twisted Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste” with Rubes cartoonist Leigh Rubin

 

The physical benefits of laughter are known to stimulate the brain, the nervous system, the respiratory system, the hormonal system, and the body’s muscles. In addition, it lowers blood pressure, lightens depression, strengthens the immune system and reduces stress.

Laughter is also a pain reliever, as it triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain killers, which provide a temporary distraction from the pain. Source: http://www.humor-laughter.com/importanceoflaughter.html

Cartoonist Leigh “Rubes” Rubin will present “A Twisted Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste” on Jan. 31 at 7:00 p.m. at Nashville Public Library. The humorous evening will consist of a journey into the land of comedy with Leigh Rubin, cartoonist and sit down comic. Also lined up for the evening is music by Andrew Rubin, son of the cartoonist, who will play on his cow guitar. Rubin has appeared in more than 400 newspapers worldwide, poking fun at everyday situations and human nature. He also has written several award-winning books, including The Wild Life of Cats and The Wild Life of Dogs. A reception will be held at 6:15 prior to the show.
