An Afternoon of Humor, Curiosity & Connection at HumorVille

​When was the last time you did something purely for the pure joy of it? ​In a world that feels increasingly heavy, fast-paced, and disconnected, humor is more than entertainment — *it’s a way back to ourselves and to each other.* **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/AfternoonofHumor)** ​On **Sunday, August 2nd,** you’re invited to step out of your usual routine and into an afternoon designed to spark laughter, curiosity, play, and genuine connection in Brooklyn. ​We’ll begin with brunch at **[Casa Ora](https://casaoranyc.com/?utm_source=luma)**, a beloved Williamsburg restaurant known for its vibrant Venezuelan cuisine, warm hospitality, and creative cocktails — the perfect setting to gather, connect, and ease into the day together. ​From there, we’ll head to HumorVille, a one-of-a-kind immersive experience described as a *“tourist attraction for your heart.”* ​Created by Jester of the Peace **Barbara Ann Michaels**, HumorVille transforms a whimsical small town into an interactive world of play, self-expression, storytelling, and human connection. Guests are invited to wander through imaginative civic spaces — including the HumorVille Marriage Bureau, Post Office, Elections Board, Public Library, and Telephone Company — each designed to spark **conversation**, **laughter**, **surprise**, and **unexpected moments of reflection**. ​More than an art installation or performance, HumorVille is a participatory experience that **reminds us how powerful it can be to laugh, loosen up, and engage with others in a more openhearted way.** ​Whether you come solo or with friends, this afternoon offers a refreshing opportunity to connect beyond small talk, experience something truly original, and remember that joy, humor, and play are not distractions from a meaningful life — they are essential parts of one. ​ **Why We’re Excited About It** * ​Immersive, interactive, and unlike a traditional gallery or performance * ​Designed to spark joy, conversation, creativity, and human connection * ​A rare blend of humor, art, play, and emotional depth ​**Event details:** **​1pm \|** Member’s brunch at **[Casa Ora](https://casaoranyc.com/?utm_source=luma)** 148 Meserole St, Brooklyn **​3\-5pm \|** **[Humorville](https://www.jesterofthepeace.com/humorville?utm_source=luma) experience** 164 Meserole Street, Brooklyn ​____ **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/AfternoonofHumor)** ​ **Tickets:** * ​**Humorville only for non-members:** $85 first release; $90 full price * ​**Humorville only for Art-full members:** $75 first release; $80 full price * ​**Full experience with brunch for Art-full members:** $100 first release; $110 full price ​**Note:** All tickets include access to Humorville — no separate ticket required. The **Full** Experience ticket *also* includes 1 brunch entree (tax/tip included) up to $20. ​ Space is intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy of the experience.
