Looking for something a little unusual to do on a cold winter’s eve this month?
How about a stand-up comedy and improv night?
Longtime comedian Leland Klassen and improv acting troupe The Panic Squad will be in 100 Mile House on Jan. 28 for a show hosted by Cariboo Christian Life Fellowship (CCLF) church at 108 Mile Ranch.
Pastor Rick Barker says Klassen has been to the Cariboo a few times and has always provided two hours of good, clean family fun.
“I’m pretty hard to please when it comes to stand-up comics, but my stomach actually hurt from laughing so hard the first time I saw these guys.”
Raised on a farm in the heart of Canada and graduating from the University of Saskatchewan with a degree in anthropology, Klassen was somewhat dissatisfied working for a courier as a night shift stock boy. Being married and with his first child soon on the way, the most responsible and obvious choice was, of course, to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, he says.
Starting at amateur nights and seedy bars, Klassen decided he would remain clean despite what the audiences wanted, and during the past 14 years, he has become recognized as Canada’s premier clean comedian.
He has hosted television shows and comedy tournaments in Canada and performed three times at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal, as well as having appeared on numerous other programs across the United States and Canada, such as CBC Television, YTV, Star TV, Global and Discovery Kids.
For more information on obtaining tickets for the show, which are $15 each or $49 for family, contact the CCLF office at 250-791-5532.
