Volunteers Needed for Laughing All The Way: 2023

We’re looking for incredible and reliable volunteers at each of our “Laughing All The Way” holiday events to act as ushers. Each volunteer will need to be available at the venue at 4:30pm the day of the event. Volunteers will receive 2 FREE TICKETS to the event they volunteer at (one for themselves + one for a guest). If you’re interested, please fill out the following form and we’ll email you on or before 11/15 to let you know if you were selected.

❌APPLICATION CLOSED❌ We’ll be in contact with our volunteers shortly.

 
Apply to be a volunteer

Join best-selling authors (and HILARIOUS motivational speakers) Hank Smith, Meg Johnson, and John Bytheway, along with host Mark Williams and special musical guest Carmen Rasmusen Herbert as they fill the Christmas festivities with entertaining stories and Christmas songs that will have you smiling, laughing, and caroling along.

You’ll laugh a lot. You’ll cry (probably from laughing so hard). But most of all, you’ll leave feeling a little bit closer to The Reason for the Season. 

With a lineup like that, it’s no wonder our events sell out!

Where will we see YOU this holiday season?

(Back to the drumroll, please…)

This year, Laughing All The Way will be touring to the following seven cities throughout Utah and Idaho.

This Might Be The Yummiest Banana Bread Ever

If you’ve attended one of our 2022 “Laughing All The Way” events, you’ve probably seen this slide on the big screen during the preshow slideshow and scanned the QR code:

And while we’re not going to tell you that this is the very best banana bread ever…

…we’re certainly not going to tell you it isn’t!

We will honestly say, however, that everyone who has tasted a slice of this banana bread comes back for a second. In fact, it now holds first place as the most requested dish at all of our marketing manager’s holiday meals! (We even served it backstage at our events last year.)

HINTS

Before you begin, here are a few tips to make your banana bread the very best:

  • Make sure your butter has been out for several hours so it can soften enough to blend well. (HINT: It’s best if left out overnight.)
  • Make sure your bananas are ripened enough; if the peels are half yellow/half black, you’re good to go!
  • Don’t overmix the batter. You want to make sure the flour is stirred only until blended.
  • Icing, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips are all fine and good, if that’s your preference. But trust us when we say that this recipe is a really good stand-alone when served barely warm with a little pat of butter.

Enjoy!

BANANA BREAD

2 medium bananas, ripened
1/2 cup salted butter, softened to room temp
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)*

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Generously grease and flour a 9-1/2″ x 5″ loaf pan.
  3. Peel bananas, then mash in a large mixing bowl for 30-45 seconds.
  4. Add softened butter, sour cream, large eggs, and vanilla. Blend well, making sure there are no large chunks of butter in the batter.
  5. Add sugar, salt, baking soda, and mix well.
  6. Gently fold in the flour until well-blended.
  7. *You can add nuts or chocolate chips at this point, but why ruin a good thing? 🙂
  8. Pour batter into loaf pan and bake on middle rack for 60 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Remove from pan immediately and let cool on a wire rack.

Let’s Talk About the Virtual Event

Don’t live close enough to attend an event? Let US bring the event to YOU!

Homes around the globe streamed our 2021 Virtual Event and LOVED it! Our state-of-the-art camera crew streams a professional event straight onto your device. You’ll see everything that our live audiences see and experience everything our audiences experience…PLUS you get a little something FREE in your inbox so you don’t miss out on the prizes! With three different tiers to choose from, you can custom design your passes to fit what’s best for your budget.

As an added bonus, this year we’ve teamed up with www.ourrescue.org to make our virtual event even more meaningful.

We’re donating 20% of all VIRTUAL EVENT ticket sales to support the efforts of Operation Underground Railroad, in their fight against human trafficking and exploitation.

The O.U.R. Mission Statement is “to shine a light worldwide on the global issue of child sex trafficking and exploitation, and in so doing rescue more children from slavery and assist law enforcement to seek justice for those who violate children. We place survivors on a path to recovery by partnering with vetted aftercare providers.”

Purchase a live virtual event pass and join us in supporting this phenomenal cause this holiday season.
