ABBOTSFORD — Award-winning comedian and actor Leland Klassen is set to appear in his hometown of Abbotsford with his high-energy stand-up comedy and story-telling show. Klassen, who has appeared on Netflix, Just For Laughs, and Dry Bar Comedy, will perform at Northview Community Church on Wednesday, July 10 at 7:00 p.m.
Klassen recently finished filming his latest feature film, “Empty Nets,” which he co-wrote and starred in. The film is a first-century Galilean comedy about a failed inventor who moves from Jerusalem to Galilee to take over his uncle’s fishing business.
In addition to his work on “Empty Nets,” Klassen has been touring extensively across North America, performing stand-up comedy. Klassen also has several film and television projects in various stages of development and plans to complete two more feature films by the end of the year.
While Klassen has enjoyed expanding his storytelling through different mediums, he remains passionate about stand-up comedy. “Stand-up comedy will always be my first love when it comes to arts and when it comes to story-telling,” Klassen said. “Don’t get me wrong, I love making movies too, especially comedies, and even more so when I write them, but there is just something about getting in front of a live audience and making them laugh.”
