Recognized as Canada’s premier clean comedian, Leland Klassen decided early on that he would keep it clean, in the comedy world the road less traveled. As a result of staying clean, this unique talent has carved out quite the niche for himself in the world of entertainment. Using his unique blend of physical comedy and endearing charm Leland’s clever observations and life experiences are brought to life in a one of a kind show. Leland has performed for Promise Keepers Canada, has been to the prestigious Just for Laughs festival in Montreal three times had his own episode of the US syndicated comedy series “Bananas”, and had two of his own television series’ on the West Coast as well as appeared on numerous other programs across the United States and Canada on CBC television, YTV, Star TV, Global and Discovery Kids. And just like his stand-up career Leland was recognized for excellence in the television world as well, receiving the BCAB 2002 Broadcast Performer of Tomorrow award for his comedic work on television in Vancouver.
Leland Klassen's vision for clean, wholesome yet hilarious comedy has propelled him to begin work on a number of new projects. If his past experience in stand-up comedy and television are any indication his work will surely garnish a great deal of attention. In the meantime, Leland continues to pursue his first love which is to stand-up in front of live audiences and entertain them with uproariously funny yet clean comedy.
