CANADIAN child comedian Callaghan McLaughlin is trying to boost spirits in his neighbourhood by telling jokes to others in lockdown – from a safe distance!

Being stuck at home isn’t typically very funny, but young Callaghan is trying his best to make it at least a bit more entertaining, by offering up jokes to those in his neighbourhood.

Initially, Callaghan wanted to sell lemonade – but had to mix things up once social-distancing rules were brought in. So, working with his parents, he set up the stand to tell his jokes free of charge to passersby.

His mum posted a picture of his stand on social media, and pretty quickly word got out, and Callaghan was on the receiving end of a whole load of attention!

The Canadian comedic actor Ryan Reynolds, who voices Detective Pikachu even got in touch to call Callaghan a hero!

Well done Callaghan!
