Creekside Theatre is excited to host award-winning author and comedian Phil Callaway on Nov. 20 at 7 p.m.
Callaway鈥檚 comedy show and silent auction will serve as local non-profit organization Parenting 101鈥檚 inaugural fundraiser event.
Phil Callaway, born and raised in rural Alberta, began his writing career as a columnist on the subject of family life and published his first few books in the early 90鈥檚: Honey, I Dunked the Kids and Daddy, I Blew up the Shed.
From there he began getting requests for speaking engagements.
鈥淚 can鈥檛 speak, but I can make you laugh. And they鈥檇 say, 鈥淐ome make us laugh.鈥濃�� Callaway said.

Phil is a husband of one, father of three, an award-winning author, speaker, radio host, and the best-selling author of 25 books. His daily radio show 鈥楲augh Again鈥� airs across North America, the UK, and Africa. His humorous stories on family life have been featured in hundreds of magazines worldwide. But he insists that his greatest achievement was convincing his wife to marry him. Phil is based in Canada and travels the world speaking, making corporations, conferences, and churches laugh.
Callaway has stated that he uses humor not just to entertain, but to inspire.
鈥淚 love to make people laugh鈥� But I also like to tell them why I鈥檓 not in a home weaving baskets somewhere and it鈥檚 because of faith and hope.鈥�
