The Wolverines are excited to bring to you our first ever comedy night at the Whitecourt Seniors Circle (5212 Legion St.)
Headlining the show is performer Lars Callieou who is known for his performances at Just for Laughs Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Halifax Comedy Festival and recordings on CBC’s Laugh Out Loud.
Lars Callieou’s laughter-inducing journey has taken him to the Just for Laughs Festival in Montréal and earned him a 1-Hour comedy special currently airing on The Comedy Network. He has entertained the troops overseas an impressive five times from Kuwait and Iraq to Kyrgyzstan, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Turkey. His comedic repertoire extends to the airwaves, with appearances on CBC’s Laugh Out Loud, on Sirius/XM and in 2023 he was featured on a Just for Laughs Originals album recording. He has toured with such legends as Joan Rivers, Bob Saget and Jeff Foxworthy, showcasing his ability to hold his own in company of comedy royalty.
Lars’s international appeal is evidenced by eight consecutive appearances at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, being named Best of the Fest at the SLO Comedy Festival in San Luis Obispo, California and, sold out shows in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore. With a wealth of comedic experiences under his belt, Lars invites you to join him on a journey that spans continents and decades, promising an evening of laughter that eclipses time and borders.

He thinks they were meant as compliments.
