Hi can any one tell me what the Magic Gospel World is like in Canada, Vancouver, Victoria or any where else?
Is there a big call for A Gospel Comedy Show? Does any one do or know of any person’s that do open air’s in Canada? Do you know of any Christian Resource Exhibitions or any information on events will be great? What about FCM do they have a chapter in Canada? We are thinking of heading over and would like to do some net-working before we went. With Thanks Mario http://www.streetcredmission.co.uk http://www.mariomorris.co.uk |

Mario -
I am north of Victoria, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island. I have done gospel shows, along with my other shows, for about 25 years now. Gospel shows are about 10% of our total shows. There are lots of performers here. I don't think that anyone else on the island does gospel shows, although a couple of performers are Christians who do a bit of gospel magic now and then. I know of a couple of Christian performers in the Vancouver area, as well. I am not aware of any Canadian FCM Chapters. The only gospel shows I've seen (besides our own) have been in the U.S., or by a visiting perfomer like Felix Snipes or Andre Kole. I don't do OAC (Open Air Campaigners) personally, but when I was a student at Prairie Bible College in Alberta over 10 years ago, I recall that they taught some students in the OAC class some basic tricks for use in OAC work. The OAC class was something that was offered in the spring at that time at Prairie. I never took a class, but was aware of it because I had a teacher for my Apologetics Class who loved street witnessing and was passionate about OAC. BTW, I perform full time for a living, and do charge our church customers a fee for the gospel shows. I don't to a love offering style of work. I can't speak for other gospel performers in BC and their styles. So I can't speak for what is typical of audience's expections around here other than my own personal experiences. PM me if you would like some further help. I might be able to give you some names and websites for other performers in Western Canada. - Donald.

Thanks Donald
Can I ask you what do you charge for a show and do you ever busk? Mario |

I don't busk. I prefer a guaranteed audience with a safe paycheck. Hehehe!
We can chat about the rest via PM. - Donald.

Busking is when you recieve tips from the public for providing entertainment. I never Busk when I do a Gospel Show.

Hi can you tell me do you ever do open air`s? Can you tell what price I should look to charge for a 50 min show?
Any thing else you can tell me that would be great. Mario http://www.mariomooris.co.uk |

I don't do open airs. I usually do camps, church rallies and outreach events etc.
I do a 45 minute show, and I USED to just take a donation until I realized how cheap churches were. How much you charge depends on where you will end up. You have to go with the market. I take my birthday fee and reduce it by $25 for churches.

I wish I lived on the lower mainland, and wish I had a passport. I'd love to see one of your shows! So close, yet so far. - Donald.
