Bio

From small intimate clubs all the way up to arena shows, Leland has pretty much
experienced everything there is to experience in the world of comedy. However, the most important thing he’s learned in his 20 plus year career, is to just be himself. Whether he’s talking about his insecurities, his day-to-day frustrations or his over-enthusiasm for the simple things in life, people can always relate. Having developed a unique comedic style of hilarious storytelling, quirky charm and high energy comedy, Leland’s show brings down the house time and time again. Having toured all across North America for nearly two decades, Leland’s credits are many and diverse. Including, appearances on Just For Laughs on the Comedy Network, CBC television’s Halifax Comedy Festival and Winnipeg Comedy Festival, Thou Shalt Laugh on Netflix and the first season of the highly successful Dry Bar Comedy viral series. In addition to that, he hosted the nationally syndicated television show Popcorn TV as well as his own show Leland Klassen’s Comedy Tournament. Most recently Leland has expanded his repertoire in moviemaking with his scene stealing appearance on “Altar Egos” to the lead in the dramatic movie “Extraordinary” and most recently starred in the action comedy “Sleeper Agent” which he co-wrote. As Leland garners more and more attention, both on the big screen and on comedy stages across the country, he hangs onto a simple philosophy; to always give his best, be himself, and to get better every time he performs.
