(Hi!)

My name is Leslie Ewing-Burgesse. I’m a very silly, very existential, very tall, variably green-haired*, normal-level** Canadian comedian living in North London.

* hair colour fades; laziness sometimes prevails
** for a Canadian

I co-run London’s longest-running alternative comedy night Troy Club with beloved friend and one of my favourite comedians, Andrew O’Neill.

We’re at The Black Heart in Camden on the first Wednesday of the month. We book all the best, all our favourite weirdo acts on the circuit, and we’ve got really excellent taste!

More info on our website.

I used to make a podcast with the excellent Nottingham comedian (and my dear friend) Katie Mitchell!

It’s called A Fun Time With Katie & Leslie, and you can find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and lots of other places.

We’re currently on an indefinite hiatus but we do occasionally chat about bringing it back (we’re both 1. busy; & 2. not known for our attention span) so keep an eye out just in case!
