Cumann a Ghaire
In 2004, Dr Madan Kataria, an Indian laughter guru (founder of the international laughter club movement) came to Ireland to set up the country’s first laughter club. He held a weekend retreat in a remote corner of County Donegal which was attended by two middle-aged Irish-speaking locals Hugh Devenney and Stephen O Donnell. This documentary gives a hilarious and fascinating insight into gurus, their followers and what happens when they crash headlong into rural Ireland. (2006, 26mins)
