From Comedian to Keynote: John Canavan Closes with a Special Performance

Before his profound conversion and his work as the Director of Divine Mercy Publications, John Canavan lived a very different life as an R-rated stand-up comedian. At the 2026 Divine Mercy Conference in Perth, he brought a touch of that theatrical flair back to the stage to close out the weekend in the most unexpected way! Watch this very special, light hearted, and unforgettable performance of The Phantom of the Opera that left the audience smiling. It is a beautiful reminder of the joy that comes with embracing God's mercy and the unique gifts He allows us to use for His glory.
