Chill Towards Enlightenment: A Stoke Seminar with Chad Goes Deep

The Chillosophy of Stoke: Chad Goes Deep’s “Chill Towards Enlightenment”

LOS ANGELES, CA – In an age of high-stakes hustle and social bummers, one man is on a mission to reclaim the collective “stoke.” Comedian and cultural commentator Chad Kroeger (better known as one-half of the viral duo Chad and JT Go Deep) is bringing his satirical “Ted Talk” seminar, “Chill Towards Enlightenment: The Ultimate Guide to Everlasting Stoke,” to the stage for a highly anticipated residency.

The tour makes two major stops in the Los Angeles area this winter, beginning at Jam in the Van on Saturday, January 31, 2026, followed by a headline performance at the Hudson Mainstage Theatre on Saturday, March 21, 2026.

The “Chill Method” Revealed

What exactly is a Stoke Seminar? In this groundbreaking one-man show, Chad deconstructs his signature “Chillosophy” to answer life’s most pressing question: “Why is bummer so prevalent in our society, and how do we transcend it?” Blending deadpan satire with surprisingly earnest self-help tropes, Chad leads the audience through The Chill Method—a transformative (and hilarious) technique designed to help attendees reclaim their inner joy. From navigating awkward social vibes to maintaining a “gnarly” perspective on the modern world, the seminar is part stand-up comedy, part surreal motivational speech.
