Funding Drive Roundtables

Program: 2025 Funding Drive Originals

Length: 179 minutes

Hosted by the hilarious Brooklyn Billinghurst, tune in to hear two amazing roundtables featuring CJSW programmers, comedians and local artists discussing their experiences in the arts and culture scene in Calgary. They discuss the highs and lows, but also touch on how CJSW has a role to play in so much that happens here in the city of Calgary!

The first half features fellow comedians Dylan and Austin, who crack jokes and riff alongside Brooklyn, but also dive into the ins and outs of local comedy scene, and how Calgary has a large role in the broader comedy scene.

The second roundtable features Mackenzie and Helen (from local band PERRA), who join Brooklyn for a great discussion about their experiences in local arts and culture, focusing in on how it may differ for a woman working in the scene.
