'Nothing to Laugh At' is a collection of short stories that delve into humor and clowning in medical environments. It's also an informative and personal guide to the history of Clown Care on a regional, national, and international scale. Clown Care is a program that brings specially trained performers into pediatric, geriatric hospitals and special needs facilities to visit with, entertain, and interact with patients of all ages. This book uncovers the in-depth training and support structure for hospital clowns, their utilization of humor as a unique form of healing, and their interactions with diverse patients.

Bob 'B. B.' Widdop has gained international recognition for his contributions to the family entertainment business for over forty years. Bob's talents brought him to Boston Children's Hospital in 1995, where he became the founding supervisor of the Big Apple Circus Clown Care Unit. For over twenty years, alongside other talented performers, he entertained and brought happiness to numerous patients, parents, and hospital staff. As a cancer survivor, 'B.B.' contributes a wealth of knowledge (both personal and professional) to 'Humor is the Best Medicine,' offering valuable insights and practical skills that deepen the understanding of healthcare clowning.
