The highly anticipated Douglas Show 2025 broke fundraising records this year, generating an impressive $153,000 for mental health initiatives at the Douglas Foundation. The sold-out event at Club Soda featured some of Quebec’s best comedians uniting for this important cause.
Jo Cormier, Eddy King, Megan Brouillard, Mariana Mazza, Katherine Levac and Christine Morency delivered outstanding performances that kept the audience laughing and applauding all evening. The surprise of the night? A special appearance by Jay Du Temple, who received an award for his commitment to the Douglas Foundation.
This success wouldn’t have been possible without the valuable support of numerous partners who contributed to the tremendous success of the Douglas Show:
Title sponsors: Pomerleau
Builders of Hope: Stikeman Elliott, WSP, and McCarthy Tétrault
Partners: Bell, IG Wealth Management, and EY
Ambassadors: Air Canada Foundation and Pharmacie David St-Jean Gagnon
