Paul Wells Road Show

A live late-night show for people who closely follow Canada's news, politics, and current affairs, hosted by Paul Wells, one of the country's most respected political commentators. Wells is known for his discerning reporting, sharp interviews, and decades of coverage of Canadian politics, and this stage show mixes insightful conversation, live music, and unexpected local voices in a format that feels part town hall, part variety show, and part after-hours hangout.

Built around Calgary and the people shaping it, the show will feature one-on-one interviews with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas, and economist Trevor Tombe, along with live musical performances by Calgary alternative folk group The Dust Collectors.

Drawing on Wells’ reputation for asking thoughtful questions and finding the human stories behind the headlines, the evening will explore the issues, ideas, and personalities influencing Calgary today while leaving plenty of room for humour, spontaneity, and surprise.

An evening of Calgary-focused late-night conversation: current events, big personalities, live music, and a room full of people who want to laugh, think, debate a little, and leave feeling more connected to the city they live in.
