Get yourself ready for some election results.
They say laughter is the best medicine. So if you're feeling a bit under the weather (Maybe a little Seasonal Affective Disorder?), maybe you should head to the New York Comedy Festival. There'll be everybody from nationally-known jokesters to up-and-coming local acts, so get ready to laugh until it hurts.
