Comedian, Event Host, Performing Artist

When you me you are guaranteed to laugh. Even when I had to speak at church as a kid, I found a way to make it funny for everyone. I’m punctual, professional and do the work I necessary prior to the function so that your event runs smoothly.

My keen sense of audience-awareness, gained over 10 years of stand up comedy has given me the ability to rework jokes on the fly to resonate more with your guests, as well as improvise and interact with the crowd in a respectful, witty and silly manner.

Worried a comedian will offend? I tend to make the most fun of myself, and have been told I create a safe, fun, and inclusive environment.

As a comedian; I tell stories, I make observations, do crowd-work and singing bits. It’s a theatrical ride with no props or set pieces - making it very easy to set up anywhere!

***SPECIAL SHOW OFFER***

‘CONNER RUINS CHRISTMAS’

“This is my solo show (40-45min runtime) - Late Night meets classic Christmas special in this hilarious and tender solo show from Conner Christmas. Over the course of the show, Conner Explores Christmas traditions through the ages, providing a hilarious and unique perspective on the true meaning of Christmas through witty observations, true stories, and songs! Find out how ‘Christmas’ found the meaning of Christmas!”

This is a larger show than my stand up - it requires a lighting and sound mixer as well as a small stage setup. I will hire and supply my own tech personnel, as well as rent any equipment needed. My base rate for this show is $2000 + rental expenses and travel outside of Calgary

I’ve been performing for over 10 years and have a background as a classically trained actor. I’m a local Albertan with an extensive knowledge of the different communities and cultures we have in our province based on my travels, and use that to connect with crowds. I have many arts practices, but public speaking and stand up comedy have always been something I’ve had a knack for. I’ve hosted events responsible for raising hundreds of thousands of dollars, as well as smaller events - I love it all! My goal as person has always been to create community through stories of laughter and tears. While I’m quick with a joke, I value and always consider respect first.

I’ve travelled the country making audiences laugh for the last 4 years, headlining comedy clubs and performing in festivals, and I always love coming into a community and getting to know them in a light hearted and respectful manner. I have the ability to change up my act to match the crowd - I perform at all ages shows, 13+, and for the rowdier adult crowds once the kids have gone to bed.

I’m not happy unless you’re happy - my goal is to make your event is fun, inclusive and not go over-time.

More often than not, all I need is a couple speakers, a microphone and a spot light!
