Jay & Leslie's Laughing Matters performance group visited the Washington, Missouri Public Library on Tuesday at 7pm as part of the Summer Reading Program.  The Laughing Matters group, which is based out of Mission, Kansas, was in the area as part of a tour of the St. Louis area.  The performance was held in the council chambers of City Hall.

 

The group's acts included juggling, mime, magic and comedy while relating activities to reading and spelling.  Several of the acts involved volunteers from the audience.  Around thirty children showed up for the event, which lasted an hour.  Video highlights of the performance can be viewed below.
