Jerry Seinfeld and Will Arnett are the special guests at Laughter is the Best Medicine, a gala fundraiser on April 12 at the Allstream Centre at Exhibition Place. Proceeds from the night of comedy will support the new Ken and Marilyn Thomson Patient Care Centre.

The evening kicks off with a cocktail reception and dinner followed by a show hosted by Arnett, a native of Toronto.
