We all have something to say. Cathartic Laughs is were folks who are interested in listening openly, sharing constructively and wondering out loud come to help each other with their writing and performing craft. Our collaborative community is facilitated by Em and Adora.
Since 2007, Em has made audiences laugh in bars, barns and blanketforts. They host the “breathtakingly funny, surprisingly hopeful” comedy show called Rape is Real & Everywhere, that toured Canada pre #metoo and was featured in Vice, The Guardian and The Globe & Mail. They are endlessly curious about comedy and trauma and how they are intertwined.
As an entrepreneur, organizer, and keynote speaker, Adora Nwofor has spent her life in Calgary championing for the rights and dignity of the BIPOC community and other marginalized folx. As President of BLM YYC, they continue to agitate, educate and organize Calgarians around the message that Black lives matter.
