Christiana Frank speaks with Jim-Bob Williams. Who is Jim-Bob?
Talented. Handsome. Accomplished. Jim-Bob Williams knows a lot of people like that. Jim-Bob practiced the principles of therapeutic humor for 35 years as an engineer and manager for two major chemical companies. Humor and levity helped many stressful situations, such as mergers, compliance audits, and wastewater treatment plant upsets.
In retirement, Jim-Bob studied the scientific connections to the use of humor. He has found Improv principles to be essential to a fuller retirement in the “4th Quarter” of life. Now a Certified Humor Professional through the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor (AATH), he is co-host of LaughBox (the AATH podcast) and serves on the AATH Research Council. He teaches improv and humor skills at a recovery homes and senior centers. He is an improv performer, a stand-up comic, and a writes jokes when not engaged in scholarly pursuits.
Fun Facts: - The oldest Therapeutic Humorist to appear on Jeopardy!
- The funniest Presbyterian east of the Ohio River (granted, not a high bar to clear)
