Set in the late 1800's, this witty and fun comedy centres around Sir Robert Chiltern who ejoys the reputation of being one of the only honest men in politics...until an unwelcome visitor threatens to reveal the secret that could destroy his career. Oscar Wilde's scintillating drawing-room comedy is wise, well constructed, and deepy satisfying.

You don’t have to be quiet as a “Church mouse” at this Event!

Ottawa Valley faithful are encouraged to giggle till it hurts.

 Funny in a Good Way (FIAGW) takes over Festival Hall to offer up a praise and worship event that is definitely not your typical church inspired event. At this event, you are encouraged to be anything but quiet as a church mouse, in fact it is pretty much guaranteed that you will be singing and laughing at volumes that you haven’t experienced in a while.  

Funny in a Good way is pleased to be bringing in award winning comedian, Andy Beningo as the headline comedy act for the evening. Andy is a veteran performer who has been featured on Dry Bar Comedy, CMT and Focus on the Family’s – Fun & Faith - Date Night Comedy Tour and a host of others. Drawing on his family relationships as the foundation for his act, Andy gives the quote that “I don’t get laughs, I give laughs. If you can make people laugh and happy for a bit, that’s a really special thing”.
