Leland Klassen
Comedian & Actor
Raised on a farm in the heart of Canada, Leland quickly learned that shoveling manure and weeding potatoes, although lucrative, wasn’t his passion in life. So with absolutely no clear direction or vision for his future, he did what everyone does when they find themselves in that position – he went to College. He wisely chose his classes based on whichever cute girl happened to catch his attention and after several short years of last minute cramming and late assignments, Leland graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a degree in Anthropology.
As you might have guessed, Leland’s university education opened many doors for him in the years to come, but for some reason, he was dissatisfied working for a courier as a night shift stock boy. By this time 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.
His career has led him many places around the world doing live acts, television and film. Recently he starred in three movies, “Extraordinary”, “Sleeper Agent” and “Altar Egos.”
Leland and his wife, Carrie, have been married for 23 years and he’s been doing comedy for 22 of them! The Klassen family lives in Canada where they have raised their two sons, Cooper and Hunter.
Dan Bremnes
Christian Recording Artist
Originally from Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Dan Bremnes is an award-winning singer/songwriter signed to Curb | Word Entertainment. Dan’s breakthrough came with his first major label release “Beautiful”, which peaked at #17 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart. The single was featured on his subsequent album, Where The Light Is. His newfound visibility was the impetus to sharing stages with Casting Crowns, Mercy Me, Chris Tomlin, along others. Dan’s insatiable penchant to see the world inspired Wherever I Go, which spawned an eight-day escapade to shoot a music video in seven countries. In 2022, Dan Bremnes returned to contemporary Christian radio with the single “Hold You Tight” which achieved a top 20 radio charting position. The song is part of his Into The Wild LP, released in June 2022. Dan resides in Nashville with his family, where dinner conversations can span from real estate investing to theology, and life hacks to Thai recipes.

It just doesn’t work without people.”

with God, one’s spouse, and other couples. It is connection through
laughter and music and disconnecting from the stresses of life for three
glorious hours.”
Amberly Neese

“Marriage Date Night is a night to laugh, to “BREATHE,” and remember
why God led you to marry your amazing spouse. I’m so honored to sing
songs and share a stage with some of the funniest people I’ve ever met as
we celebrate God’s beautiful gift called marriage!”

night is relaxed, non-threatening, filled with laughter and music. The
whole time i’m on stage looking out over the audience, I say to myself,
‘This is the kind of evening I’d love to be sitting next to my wife.’ “
David Dean
