ABOUT THE TEAM
FANNY MORIAT
Creator
Equipped with a degree in theater, Fanny Moriat aka Fanny Rire uses her enthusiasm to animate laughter yoga sessions for corporate, community and social groups alike. She has also hosted laughter sessions both on a national and international level. It was during her time in Quito, Ecuador working as a therapeutic clown that Fanny discovered her true mission: to bring joy to others through laughter, one laugh at a time.
Fanny developed Gigi! The Laughing Game, a board game inspired by the laughter community. After attending and participating in several Laughter Yoga events such as Urgence Rire and Rire en Ligne during the pandemic, Fanny wanted to make the experience more personal by creating Gigi! The Laughing Game to allow people to laugh even more at home!
