David Letterman is bringing his comedic stylings to Just for Laughs Vancouver.
The festival says it’s the former late-night host’s first time performing in Canada since 1978.
He’s due to appear on stage for An Evening with David Letterman and Special Guest Zach Galifianakis on Feb. 18 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver.
The 78-year-old comedian hosted Late Night from 1982 to 1993, and The Late Show from 1993 to 2015.
He also hosts the Netflix interview series My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.
Other festival headliners include James Acaster, Atsuko Okatsuka and Dropout Improv, featuring performers Jeremy Culhane and Vic Michaelis. The festival runs from Feb. 12 to 22.
