Comics inDIGESTion, June 1994

This Month: Featuring Peter Kelamis

The multi-talented Peter Kelamis, is a very busy man these days. His calm, comfortable presence on stage as a Stand-Up Comic leads you to believe that he must have a lot of spare time on his hands to write such insightful, reflective, interesting witticisms from his life and the world around him. His Greek ancestry, combined with being born and raised in Canada adds to his exotic charm, which would be three inches taller if he weren't so bow-legged.

But don't let his calm exterior fool you. Recently, Peter appeared on the Commish, the X-Files, and America's Funniest People. In between commercial voice-overs, he also managed to squeeze in an acting role in the movie "Sleeping with Strangers". Last month, he appeared as several different characters nightly at Punchlines Comedy Club with the No Name Players Improv Comedy Group. He frequently tours throughout Canada as a headlining Stand-Up Comedian and every once in a while, he actually goes home to his apartment in Richmond to sleep in his own bed.

Since his schooldays, Peter has been "cracking up" his friends with his humour. He truly finds that performing isn't just what he does for a living, it's a personal necessity. Peter says, "If I won the Lottery tomorrow and I was rich beyond my wildest dreams, I would still be doing this." Peter is very confident about his future plans for his career. He believes that as long as he continues to progress creatively in the mainstream, one day he'll find himself soaring in the jetstream. And that's much better than waking up one day to find yourself up the mainstream without a paddle!
