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

The Ouverts d’esprit evening broke a new record last Thursday, February 26, at the Théâtre Paradoxe — marking the second consecutive year of record-breaking impact!
A major water leak in January 2026 caused significant losses at the Douglas Research Centre, directly impacting research teams. An emergency campaign is underway to support the resumption of essential mental health research.
Laughter, generosity and solidarity were at the heart of the Douglas Show, a memorable evening that made a meaningful contribution to mental health research.
