Laughing Matters

Season 8 Episode 11 | 26m 14s

The best way to handle unexpected moments is to find the humor. Ajay’s mistake at airport security spirals into an interrogation; Anoush navigates the traditions of Armenian school until a surprising occasion changes everything; and Sean pursues his NBA dreams - until a slip-up leads him to a different calling. Three storytellers, three interpretations of LAUGHING MATTERS, hosted by Wes Hazard.

Aired: 03/23/25
Stories from the Stage is a collaboration of WORLD Channel and GBH. In partnership with Tell&Act.
