laughfest
Nonstop hilarity event
A laughfest is an event or experience characterized by abundant laughter—a comedy show, a gathering of friends, or any situation where people laugh continuously: The reunion turned into a laughfest as we shared old stories.
The word emphasizes quantity and intensity of laughter rather than quality of humor.
