COCA - Canadian Organization of Campus Activities

The stage is set. 🪄

We’re excited to announce that our 2026 COCA Awards Banquet Host is none other than hypnotist, magician, and illusionist Savio Joseph!

Known for high-energy performances, audience interaction, and moments that genuinely make people question what they just witnessed, Savio will not only be hosting the Awards Banquet, but also performing at the Awards Banquet.

Expect laughter. Expect chaos. Expect a few “how did he do that?” moments.



Be in the room where it all comes together.

🎤😂 NEXT UP: COMEDY / VARIETY 😂🎤

Now it’s time for the people making delegates laugh so hard they forget to check their work email during the set.

And yes… this showcase also includes a hypnotist. Which means there is a very real chance someone ends up passionately believing they are a backup dancer.

These are performers who know how to work a crowd, connect with students, and bring the kind of energy campuses love having in the room.

Sharp, engaging, and genuinely fun to watch.
The kind of acts you can easily picture fitting into your campus programming lineup.
