S4E10 - Laughter at the Bedside - A Conversation with Tiffany Riley of the Laughter League

In this heartfelt episode, Claire O’Berry speaks with longtime friend and visionary artist Tiffany Riley, co-founder of the Laughter League. Tiffany shares what it means to be a professionally trained healthcare clown—collaborating with medical teams in pediatric hospitals to bring moments of levity, connection, and healing to critically ill children.

From stories of joy in the ICU to sacred moments at the end of life, Tiffany offers a rare look inside this powerful, misunderstood field. The episode honors her late mother Joy, whose love and legacy continues to inspire compassion through laughter. You’ll also hear how clowning as care is a rigorous, artistic, and emotional discipline—and why it’s so vital today.

Prepare to be moved, surprised, and perhaps even inspired to laugh a little differently.
