Thank you to everyone who joined us for our FIA luncheon on September 10. Held at JR & Company, the luncheon featured comedian, author and filmmaker David Naster and his presentation, “You Just Have To Laugh!”
David brought plenty of laughter to the afternoon while sharing a meaningful message about the role humor can play in helping us navigate stress, adversity and some of life’s most difficult moments. Drawing from his career in comedy and the stories of people who have faced extraordinary challenges, David demonstrated how laughter can provide perspective, relieve stress and help us approach difficult situations differently.
Meet David Naster
Nobody does what David Naster does!
David is a rare blend of quality entertainment and true inspiration. He is funny without cursing. He motivates without preaching. With laser-sharp focus, Naster demonstrates how humor dissolves any type of stress. He does this by using real examples from real people who have been through life’s toughest times. The beauty of David’s presentation is that the audience is laughing as he empowers them to deal with their own stressful issues. They leave feeling good and knowing how to continue that feeling.
David is an award-winning author and filmmaker. His books and films have been implemented at the Stanford Cancer Center, Mayo Clinic and MD Anderson Cancer Institute. Numerous Universities, Schools, Hospitals, Rehab Centers and Hospices worldwide also use the many episodes and books of You Just Have To Laugh. He was the only American Comedian to open for Celine Dion on her “Love” tour. David was the first street performer in Kansas City and started the first stand-up comedy club in Kansas City.
