Laugh Out LIVE! has officially launched into its third season, presenting two incredible nights at the Fairmont with the Whistler Writer’s Festival in October. We’d like to first and foremost extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire community, all our sponsors, and everyone who came out for a good time! We’re beyond excited for our Cornucopia show next week!
In its 2021/22 debut season, amid the onslaught of the global pandemic, Laugh Out LIVE! united our community and brought much needed laughter to Whistler at a time when we needed it most. Boasting 15 straight sold-out nights at the Maury Young Arts Centre, with Arts Whistler, it was a dream come true and Laugh Out LIVE! was born.
Now, if you can take a moment to imagine what it might be like to be an artist trying to make a living in a sports mecca like Whistler. As a permanent or even temporary resident, we all need to make a conscious effort to go out and continue to support artists striving to be here. Listen to local live music, buy local art, and, of course, see local comedy! Show your support for Arts Whistler and The Point Artist-Run Centre by participating in the events and programs they bring to our town. Take an art class. Do a workshop. Hit up a museum. Keep Whistler arts happening because if you’ve been here for a while, you’ve seen the infamous Whistler “turnover effect” and you know we’ve lost a lot of great artists over the years who couldn’t make it here. In my opinion, that’s partly on us as individuals (as well as our government). So please do your part to keep our artists working and creating that which brings YOU joy.
