Thanks to the support of our sponsors and donors, the first edition of our comedy show managed to raised $150,000$ to support mental health research at the Douglas Institute.
It was a pleasure to welcome our guests last Thursday for the first edition of the Douglas Show. With stellar entertainment by our host Jo Cormier, and distinguished guests like Neev, Arnaud Soly, François Bellefeuille, Maude Landry and Laurent Paquin, we made a great impact with this humorous evening.
This success would have never been possible without the support of our title sponsor Pomerleau, our cocktail sponsors WSP and Stikeman Elliott, as well as Bell Let’s Talk and Slalom.

We sincerely hope that you will join us for the next edition of the Douglas Show. Together, we are building hope for all those whose lives have been affected by mental illness.

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.
