Leland is increasingly becoming a familiar face. Hosting, producing, acting and
writing for television and radio are giving Leland less time to pursue his first
love, live stand-up comedy.
Leland Klassen is Canada’s premiere clean comedian and has performed at Montreal’s
Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Clubs and as well as many other
leading comedy clubs across the country. Leland separates himself from other comedians
in the comedy scene because of he is so clean and yet he is so outrageously funny.
Early on in his career Leland was recognized by producers and network executives
as an incredible talent which led to his first role in a pilot for a CBC sitcom.
Since then Leland’s journey has led him to write and perform for CBC Radio nationally
and regionally numerous times and as well allowed him to pick up many acting, performing
and writing credits. Along the way Leland has shared management with artists such
as Kelsey Grammar, Tobey Macquire, Angelina Jolie and Richard Dreyfus. Leland is
also currently active as a writer producer for NOWTV, for whom he developed the
show “Comedy Street” and “The Leland Project” a sketch comedy show based on characters
from his act. Leland continues to develop television projects for NOWTV and has
worked on concepts for PAX TV in the USA.
When it comes to Leland’s first love audiences are captivated right from the start
by his clean and comfortable stage presence. His hilarious high energy -- physical
humour is drawn from family life, everyday situations as well as his unique background
and up-bringing. Leland is not afraid to be a Christian in the comedy world becasue
he has taken his act to a new level, a level where all barriers are eliminated and
the end result is an incredible experience for everyone.
