You Just Have To Laugh

YOU JUST HAVE TO LAUGH (YJHTL) David Naster learned and survived how to make a living as a professional comedian. Then the comedian learned how Humor and Laugher helps us to survive.

Each week we will offer real people who are really funny that have found joy and laughed through their real problems.
