Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1534 - A Christmas Pause: Laughter, Calm & Connection with Carla Collins

In this special pre-Christmas episode of The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian Crombie steps away from politics and headlines to offer something different — a moment of laughter, reflection, and calm in the middle of the holiday rush. Brian is joined by Carla Collins — comedian, actor, author, and one of Canada’s most beloved voices in comedy — for a warm, funny, and deeply human conversation about why laughter may be the best survival tool during the holidays. They explore comedy at Christmas, managing seasonal stress, and how Carla blends humor and wellness through her Laugh of Attraction and Comedic Meditation work. Carla also shares details about her holiday and New Year performances, including her Boxing Day and December 27 shows in London, Ontario, and her New Year’s Eve headline show in Barrie — a night of gourmet dining and comedy to ring in the new year with joy. The episode closes with a short Christmas message from Brian on choosing presence over perfection, connection over chaos, and finding peace in a season that can be joyful — and complicated — all at once. No politics. No noise. Just laughter, perspective, and a gentle pause before Christmas.
