The Joy of Stress

The subtitle is “How to Prevent Hardening of the Attitude.” That is a very official way to tell people not to turn into a grump.

Loretta LaRoche hosts this 1992 WGBH comedy and self-help presentation about stress and humor. It was made possible in part by Tufts Associated Health Plan, which is the kind of credit that tells you what era of PBS you are in.

LaRoche works in front of a live audience, somewhere between a lecture and a comedy set. The tape was streamed March 1, 2026. It is a stress-management program that at least understands nobody wants more homework.
