David Letterman is set to perform in Montreal for the first time.
The former late-night host will headline Just for Laughs Montreal with "An Evening with David Letterman and Special Guest Will Arnett."
Their onstage conversation is scheduled for July 21 at Place des Arts.
It comes months after Letterman took to the stage in Vancouver in February, his first Canadian performance since 1978.
The Montreal festival runs from July 15 to 26.
Previously announced headliners include Jerry Seinfeld, Weird Al Yankovic and Mae Martin, who's recording a Netflix special at the festival.
