High-octane, unpredictable, and gleefully absurd, Kamal Alaeddine is a comedian who treats every performance like a full-body experience. Blending the physical chaos of Chris Farley and John Candy with the countercultural spirit of Cheech and Chong, Alaeddine delivers comedy that’s as thoughtful as it is explosive. From stretching his body and mind before shows to performing internationally—including an unforgettable run in Iceland with the Jim Rose Circus—his work thrives on surprise and fearless imagination. Whether he’s unpacking the quantum physics of marijuana or preparing for his ambitious Three’s Comedy world tour, Kamal brings an unfiltered, high-energy presence to the stage that makes one thing clear: buckle up, and enjoy the ride.
How would you describe your comedy style?
A spectacular, high-energy extravaganza packed with laughter and surprises. Buckle up. You’ve been warned.
Who are some of your influences?
I’m a cross between Chris Farley and John Candy if they were partying with Cheech and Chong.
Who was your favourite comedian growing up?
Jim Varney, specifically his performance in 1997’s Ernest Goes to Africa, which should have won the Oscar for best picture that year. Unfortunately, institutional racism is real. Know what I mean, Vern?
Who is your favourite comedian now?
Leif Oleson-Cormack is the undisputed best comedian in the world today. He has the elegance of Elton John, the writing talent of Maya Angelou, paired with the fabulous good looks of Pedro Pascal.
What is your pre-show ritual?
I like to stretch, both body and mind.
What is your favourite place you have performed? Why?
I performed in Iceland with The Jim Rose Circus. What is interesting is that Iceland is actually green.
What is your favourite bit you have written and why were you proud of it?
I have a bit on the quantum physics of marijuana smoking that is the best drug joke ever written in any dimension.
What is your favourite medium for listening or finding new comics/comedians?
I use Yahoo News.
Tell us a joke about your city.
I was taking the C-Train when a man offered to send me a dick pic. I told him, “Sir, no one wants your dick pics, but some people do wanna see your feet pics.” He ended up sending me pictures of his fallen arches. To be honest, I don’t have a foot fetish…yet. But I think diabetes is going to make me nostalgic.
Do you have anything to promote right now?
I am about to embark on a historic, 150-date world tour with 2 other comedians, Leif Oleson-Cormack and Andrew Iwanyk. It’s called “Three’s Comedy”, it starts in March and is going to the end of 2026. Watch for us in a city or town near you.
Where can we follow you?
PAY IT FORWARD: Who is another local comic/comedian we should know about?
Andrew Iwanyk. He’s a dream maker. He’s an inspiration. He is a man of infinite mystery.
