The Case for Comedy

an evening with Juno-nominated Charlie Demers

Friday Nov 6
7:30 PM

Heather Edwards Theatre
701 11 St. SW (inside Contemporary Calgary)

For many people the comic sensibility and the world of faith sit beside each other uncomfortably, if at all. But what if humour is not only fundamental to the life of faith, but arguably impossible without one?

Two time Juno nominated stand-up comedian, cartoon voice actor, radio broadcaster, humourist, and practicing Anglican Charlie Demers speaks on two of his very favorite subjects.

10th Annual
Scripts on Fire Competition

** Submissions now open **

We want to know what stories are almost ready to make their appearance in the world. And we want to support their next steps.

We are interested in stories that make us laugh and make us cry and mostly make us look at ourselves a little differently. We love the exploration of the idea that there just might be a God and what that could mean for humanity.

We Are Fire Exit Theatre

Founded in 2002 with Hope, Challenge, Change as our foundation and a desire to create community and create in community.

Our aim is to artistically explore the world through the lens of faith. We challenge our artists and patrons to think new thoughts, lean into empathy, examine who our neighbour is, and to be open to transformation and the hope of redemption.

We invest in the emerging artists who are developing their creative voices, finding their way in the world. And we seek to learn from the established artists who have gone before. 

We have grown into a respected company who seeks to serve the arts community in Calgary and beyond.
