Here’s a clip of Leo on the BBC: https://youtu.be/W50VnHGAXdc
More about Leo…
Scottish Comedian of the Year Leo Kearse is part of the new wave of raw, bold, American-inspired comedians taking the big UK clubs by storm – doing weekends/headlining for The Comedy Store, Glee, Hot Water, Just The Tonic, Top Secret – and abroad, with 2018 taking in 20 countries. He’s written for BBC comedy including Sam Delaney’s News Thing, Question Time, Breaking The News, Mock The Week and Mash Report.
What the Press have to say…
“He churns out the gags, provoking a steady stream of laughs in his tight set, which strides purposefully between topics with muscular, efficient lines on each. Kearse was both an audience and judges’ favourite, and the deserved winner” – Steve Bennett, Chortle
“Kearse is seriously good. Quick, funny, smart and to the point…hilarious”
Kate Copstick, The Scotsman
“Rampantly self-interested, prone to generalisations and stereotypes, and with a penchant for punching down rather than up…the audience were roaring with laughter” – One4Review.co.uk ****
“A giant of the art”
Steve Bennett, Chortle
“Overflowing with energy…inspired riffing…a deserved winner”
This Is Essex
“Very funny, very dirty, occasionally shocking, but edgily likeable and happily endearing, eliciting the guilty pleasure of laughter from a wide-eyed audience”
THE LIST ****
“Very tall and very funny… such energy and aplomb that the audience is left powerless to resist… one of the most enjoyable shows of the Fringe”
THREE WEEKS ****
