Host and producer of two new television shows "Comedy Street" and "Retro" on NOWTV 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 as well as many other leading comedy clubs across the country. Leland separates himself from other comedians in the comedy scene because 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.
