This work is dedicated to culture, its strength and power, its magical ability to heal the soul and body, unite peoples and countries, restore society and restore peace and harmony to the world. The article examines the phenomenon of the “League of Laughter” festival as an example of the representation of the functionality of humor as a mechanism of cultural reflection against the epidemic of violence.
