LESLIE EWING-BURGESSE: PHENOMENON (WIP)
A brand new and very experimental work-in-progress hour from your favourite London-based, 6’3″, Canadian, existential, green-haired, silly, spooky alternative comedian. She hopes she’s your favourite one of those, anyway.
“Funny and insightful, she is one to keep an eye on as she inevitably rises through the comedy scene.” – The Only Culture Vulture
“… her slightly chaotic nature and gimmicks made it feel like I was down the pub with a friend telling me some stories.” – carlymay.co.uk
