When is International Joke Day?
International Joke Day is on Wednesday, July 1, 2026. International Joke Day on July 1st celebrates the art of humor. Share your best (or worst) jokes, appreciate the comedians in your life, and remember — puns always count.
International Joke Day, celebrated on July 1st, is a day dedicated to laughter in all its forms — from perfectly crafted one-liners to groan-worthy dad jokes that somehow still make you smile.
Humor is one of humanity's most powerful tools. It builds connections, diffuses tension, and has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, boost immune function, and improve overall well-being. A good laugh literally makes you healthier.
The history of jokes stretches back to ancient civilizations. The oldest known joke, from 1900 BC Sumeria, is a fart joke — proving that bathroom humor is truly timeless. From Shakespeare's witty wordplay to modern stand-up comedy, the art of making people laugh has always been valued.
On International Joke Day, share your favorite joke with a friend, watch a comedy special, or finally tell that pun you've been saving. Remember: even bad jokes deserve to be told. Especially bad jokes.
