I am a theatre artist and have the skill to enact laughter on command. Do you think I can also get the same health benefits from fake laughter on stage the way laughter club members do when they pretend to laugh? 我是一個戲劇演員，我學會技能可以在接受指示時，立即笑出來。你認為我在舞台上的假笑可以得到如同愛笑俱樂部成員所得到的同樣健康效益嗎？
Laughter in laughter clubs is different from other fake laughter as it involves a healthy exercise and not just an enactment of emotions. When actors act, they are not doing laughter as an exercise; it is a part of their play and entails different thought processes. On the other hand, Laughter Yoga is done as a form of an exercise and does not rely on any reason, sense of humor. It is purely a physical act and not a mental phenomenon. Here are some significant differences: 愛笑俱樂部的笑不同於其他假笑，因為它還包含了一項健康的運動，不只是情緒表現而已。當演員在表演時，他們沒做笑的運動；笑只是他們表演的一部份，需要不同的思維過程。另一方面，愛笑瑜珈做的是一種形式的運動，不依靠任何理由及幽默感。這純粹是一個身體的動作，不是一種心理現象。以下是一些重要的區別：
Laughter Yoga club members learn to laugh in order to be healthy. Health is a priority and they are totally committed to doing laughter exercises. Actors on the other hand are trained to acquire skills for performance. Health is not their main concern. They are doing it just for a living. 愛笑瑜珈俱樂部成員學習笑是為了健康。健康被列為優先考量，成員們完全致力於作愛笑運動。另一方面來說，演員被訓練去掌握表演的技能。健康這件事不是他們的主要關切。他們這樣做只為賺錢謀生。
Laughter members are not being judged. They are free from anxiety of performance. Actors suffer from the stress of being judged all the time as their performance is based on the appreciation of others. 愛笑成員不會被評斷。他們不會有表演得好不好的焦慮。演員則總是會受苦於被評斷的壓力，因為他們的表演是為了得到他人的讚賞。
Laughter Yoga members are motivated by a feeling of wellbeing, whereas performers are motivated by the audience and their judgments. 愛笑瑜珈成員的動機來自一種快樂幸福的感覺，而演員的動機則來自觀眾對他們的評斷。
In Laughter Clubs there is no audience. Each person is an active participant. Actors are primarily performers. They have to face audiences which are passive participants most of the time. 在愛笑俱樂部裡沒有所謂的觀眾。每個人都是主動的參與者。演員則是主要的表演人。他們要面對觀眾，而觀眾總是一群被動的參與者。
Laughter for the club members is on demand whereas actors laugh on command. 愛笑俱樂部成員的笑是隨順自己的需求(demand)，而演員的笑則是順應他人的要求(command)。
