[edit] Controversy
On July 24, 2006 Kelamis was headlining at the Vancouver Yuk-Yuks comedy club. Comedian Dane Cook asked to do a guest spot before Kelamis' act. During Cook's set the club's manager repeatedly cut off his microphone and tried to "play him off" with music. Cook thought it was simply a mistake and continued his set. Cook eventually dropped the mic and walked off-stage, furious. The show then ended, leaving Cook's fans confused and disappointed. Headliner Peter Kelamis then refused to take the stage at all. Kelamis later referred to Cook's actions as "the most arrogant thing that [he had] ever seen in [his] life".[2] Cook refused to ever set foot on a Yuk-Yuks stage again. Mark Breslin, the founder of the comedy club chain,[3] quickly apologized and blamed the club's manager for the mistake.[2]
