ENTERTAINMENT - LET THE FARCE BE WITH YOU

Join us for the grand finale of the IAFP® Symposium, Murder Mystery Dinner followed by our Speakeasy Lounge, a great place to network — an unforgettable gala event on September 27, 2024.

The (RRSP) The Rebellious Revel Strategic Partnership, are meeting to throw a surprise party for Duke Skyjockey on the anniversary of his escaping from the dull backwater of Ratta-toonie, cunningly disguising the party as a symposium for financial planners. However, the Amperor of the (TFSA) Tyrannical Farce Suppression Ampire, has crashed the party and arrested all of the guests.
Join Dark Skater, Duke Starjockey, Princess Labia, Hand Solo and his sidekick Gooey, and Amperor Palpitation for an evening of mysterious audience-interactive comedy, that will be sure to tickle you through “or in” the Farce.

Presented by:  Murder by Appointment

Tickets for this optional event are available when you register for the Symposium
