An Afternoon of Humor, Curiosity & Connection at HumorVille

Sun, Aug 9, 7:00 PM

From Women of Culture NYC

4.8

**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 9th**, 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 at **[HumorVille](https://www.jesterofthepeace.com/humorville?utm_source=luma)**, 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. Afterward, those joining the **Full Experience** will gather for dinner at **[Casa Ora](https://casaoranyc.com/?utm_source=luma)**, a beloved Williamsburg restaurant known for its vibrant Venezuelan cuisine, warm hospitality, and creative cocktails. It's the perfect setting to continue the conversation, share reflections from the afternoon, and enjoy an evening with a thoughtful community of women. 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** **3:00–5:00 PM \| HumorVille Experience** 164 Meserole Street, Brooklyn **5:30 PM \| Members' Dinner at [Casa Ora](https://casaoranyc.com/?utm_source=luma)** 148 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 dinner for Art-full members:** $100 first release; $110 full price **Note:** All tickets include access to HumorVille — no separate ticket is required. The **Full Experience** ticket also includes one dinner entrée (tax and tip included) up to **$20**. Space is intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy of the experience. Early booking is encouraged. ______ **The Art-Full Membership** If you are not yet an Art-full member, we would love to have you join us for as little as $45/month for the basic membership, or $65/month for the upgraded Premier membership. You can[ learn more about all membership levels and join here](https://womenofculture.org/artfull-membership?utm_source=luma) or reach out to alex@womenofculture.org with any questions. **The membership provides:** * Access to *member exclusive* events like this one * Complimentary tickets to all online events * Priority access to & discounts on ALL events * Premier members *also* get priority access to 'culture-tunities' including free VIP passes to exclusive after-hours events at cultural institutions all over the city All designed to help you live your best, most art-full and socially connected life! **Note about tickets/ RSVP's:** * RSVPs on Meetup do NOT count as official registrations for this event, and the RSVP count on Meetup may not reflect the actual number of attendees.
