About this event
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 favourite subjects.
