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, humorist and practicing Anglican Charlie Demers speaks on two of his favourite subjects.
General Admission - $25
How To Write Funny
Workshop with Charlie Demers
Saturday Nov 7 @ 11:00 am
EPIC Vineyard Church 2018 Centre St. N.
Everything you always wanted to know about humour but were too serious to ask: the history and theory behind comedy, the fundamentals of joke-writing, and the different applications of comedic writing across forms.
Drawing on the Charlie’s experience as a Juno-nominated stand-up comedian; author, and editor of a literary humour imprint; work as a playwright and television writer; and contributions to CBC comedies such as The Debaters and This Hour Has 22 Minutes, this class will be a mix of lecture, in-class writing prompts, and group discussion.
$25 (only 20 spot available)
