Clean comedian Leland Klassen, along with Matt Falk and Todd Neilson, are bringing the Laughopolis Comedy Combo Tour to the Kanata Baptist Church on March 10.
Klassen, whose jokes keep in line with his Christian ethics, has teamed up with similarly hygienic humourists Matt Falk and Todd Neilson to bring the Laughopolis Comedy
Combo Tour to the Kanata Baptist Church on March 10.
"That's how clean this show is, we can go into a church and not have any problems," said Klassen, who performed at the church in 2008.
Clean comedy doesn't mean his jokes aren't funny or that they're cheesy, he said. It just means he doesn't sully the laughs with innuendo, sex or drugs.
"This is really funny stuff, there's just no filthy residue once it's done," said Klassen. "For me, it's a belief system thing."
The Laughopolis tour will feature three genres of humour, including improv, sketch and standup comedy.
"It all mixes together into one uniform, funny show," said Klassen. "Canada hasn't seen anything like it."
The award-winning comedians first tested the idea of a comedy combo tour last year in B.C. The show received such an enthusiastic response that the tour was expanded this year to include Ontario, he said.
"We'll probably expand it again because it's just been so successful," said Klassen. "This tour ... it's got a little something for everybody. I think that's why it's been so successful.
"It's like watching a Pixar movie, there's stuff for the kids but there are jokes for the adults too."
The event will take place at the Kanata Baptist Church, 465 Hazeldean Rd., on March 10 starting at 7 p.m.
Tickets for the Laughopolis Comedy Combo Tour are $15. For more information, visit the website at www.laughopolistv.com.
