Within the framework of the one-week visit to Armenia, the clown doctor, founder of the hospital clownery Hunter Doherty Adams and his group will bring laughter to the children of the orphanages and hospitals of Yerevan, Gyumri, Vanadzor and Dilijan.

In 1998, Robin Williams portrayed Patch Adams in the “Patch Adams” film. It should be noted that Patch Adams is the pseudonym of Hunter Doherty Adams. The film's ideology was the following; it was offensive for Adam, when laugh and love were used under the term “therapy”. “The people, who are the owner of the world, try to criticize me and establish treatment facilities, with which I have nothing to do. The pharmaceutical sales is the most vulgar and avaricious business in the USA. During 44 years, I have been a free doctor and the medicine sellers treat with my work suspiciously”, as “Armenpress” reports, Patch Adams highlighted.
