Walter Ness has been a member of the Arlington Laughter Club since its beginning in 2004. He is also a Certified Laughter Leader, and is webmaster for both the Arlington Laughter Club and the Wakefield Laugh Club.

His laughter was used by the national TV show Good Morning America Weekend Edition.

In June 2005 Walter presented several performances of his Traveling Laughter Club at Jimmy Tingle's OFF BROADAWAY THEATER and was featured in a front cover story in the Somerville Journal.

After the laughter performances at Jimmy Tingle's Theater, strangers would come up to Walter and say, "Hey, you're that Laughter Guy." The nickname stuck.
