You walked into a dimly lit room, sat next to a stranger, and laughed until your face hurt — and somehow left feeling lighter than you have in months. That wasn't a coincidence. It was neuroscience, community psychology, and one comedian doing something that looks like entertainment but functions a lot like medicine.
