Whitehead is exactly the kind of comedian we love bringing to our stages,\u201d Rudra said in a press release. \u201cHe\u2019s had an incredible international career, worked alongside some of the biggest names in comedy, and has the kind of experience and stage presence that makes for an outstanding live show.<\/p>\n

\u201cA veteran of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, he is known for his sharp observational humour, clever storytelling and distinctly Canadian perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the release, Whitehead said he was looking forward to coming back to Canada to perform.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve spent so much of my career travelling and performing around the world, but there\u2019s something special about getting on stage in front of a Canadian audience,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to these shows and having some fun with the crowds in B.C.\u201d<\/p>\n
