Laugh For The Cure

Get ready for a night of laughter and surprises at The Westin Ottawa, where five local business and community leaders (the Joes) will step out of their comfort zones and take the stage to deliver their own five-minute stand-up routines! With the help of professional comedian coaches (the Pros), these fearless individuals will use humor to entertain and connect with the audience.

But the fun doesn’t stop there.

After the Pros and Joes bring the laughs, the night will culminate with a performance by headliner Rory Gardiner. Known for his dynamic, no-stress approach and high-energy comedic keynotes, Rory blends humor with insight to inspire organizations to embrace agility and turn discomfort into opportunity. Audiences will leave both entertained and equipped with actionable strategies for shifting perspectives and navigating change.
