The First American Laughing Championship in San Diego
The firstever American Laughing Championship is taking place in San Diego.The contest is the first national championship in the US，although Canadian filmmaker，Albert Nerenberg，has organised national laughing contests in Canada and Japan and a state championship in California back in 2010.The contest requires the chosen laughers to face off against each other as the audience determine who has the most attractive laugh.Daunte Reed is one of about twelve people competing in the contest.He is hoping to be a winner of the title of top laugher.“I've been told I have an attractive laugh.It doesn't take much to make me laugh，”Reed said.
The contest includes the belly laugh，the crazy laugh and the diabolical laugh.The last one is the most challenging，according to Nerenberg，who said the goal is
to make the audience laugh with your laugh.“The solo laughing requires a good voice.However，the other laugh styles require someone to get the audience laughing；a good diabolical laugh requires the laugher to infect himself and start laughing naturally，”he explained.
“The person who wins isn't always the best，but the top three people are always the best.These people bring more joy to the world.They tend to be happy types.We've never had a sad person win so far，”he added.
