Big fan from her UA-cam clips of her club stand up routines. So happy for her getting some Tonight Show recognition. And Netflix too. She's going places like Ali Wong.
Yeah , same. I have been following her on IG for ages but didn't know her name
Leslie is actually 10 times more funnier than ali wong
I have to agree. Ali works get delivery extremely well but Leslie’s raw jokes and actual humour are vastly superior. @@pmlstk
The only comparison you can think of is the only other mainstream Asian female comic... LOL
😂 I could tell the audience doesn’t know what Kumon is.
I do. There are several of them around here.
wow that username
Watched her live at small clubs in LA (she is fantastic even impromptu) and now she is on the Tonight Show. Such a trajectory. Leslie is a star!
“Im a straight woman but I don’t find men attractive” i felt that in my bones
100%
So happy to know that I’m not the only one
Yea even though I am straight I really like checking out girls and I agree they are very pretty
ugh tragedy of my life
She's so talented. Every time I see her videos it hits me again. She says everything with such confidence there's never an awkward moment. All her jokes flow together so well she seamlessly switches from topic to topic and you don't even realize when it changed. True talent.
I think her voice sounds great. Look forward to more
Zip it back up hero. She’s mine.
Hats off to her. Otherwise she may not like you if you wear one.
Great, related,comment!
Lol
😂 best comment
Saw Leslie's set last week at a small bar in California, and she is hilarious!!! I laughed the entire time. I know she's gonna be big. So happy for her!!
Wow!
I wouldn’t mind seeing her in person myself.
I’m in the Oakland East Bay California Area.
Where did you see her?
She keeps all her jokes fresh and is so engaging with the audience. What a talent, so smart and funny! Can’t wait to see what you do next for women in comedy Leslie! Congrats to you!
Solid funny set! This is my first time ever hearing of her and I really enjoyed her set! I look forward to her Netflix special! Great job Leslie!
Bot
@@MrBrewman95 nope not a bot. You actually think Leslie's management or the tonight show paid for a bot?
@@emb5091 her bits on Instagram are way better!
@@MrBrewman95Tit
Yesssss all those jokes KILL the audience was lost idk why I love her so much
I've listened to her tell this joke like 30 times now. I'm probably gonna do 50 before i'm satisfied. lol
She IS funny! And I LOVE that voice of hers!
Her voice sounds great !!
I cannot get enough of her!!! ❤️❤️❤️
that was a solid set from someone ive never heard of bravooo
So happy to see her getting so much recognition ❤well deserved
I got to admit, she's pretty funny !
Very few female comedians make me laugh. She is truly hilarious.
I bought my ticket to go see her already ❤
Where?
I’m in Northern California, Oakland area.
So glad she came this far!
Great set!
Oh my Gosh! Our wishes came true. She has her own Netflix. Yasss.
I learned all her lines as i been watching her since Cv-19. I see she has refined her catching phrases…am like a kid waiting for candy…when is that line gonna come ;)))
Wh..why did Jimmy bow to her? 😂
cuz she's asian duhh
Maybe because it was an outstanding short set.
Then again, who knows, it could have been a subconscious thing on his part as bowing is a regular custom in certain Asian countries.
Maybe to respect her personal space as she didn't move towards him.
I think it was because she's of Chinese descent.
He bowed to her as a sign of respect for her Chinese heritage.
That might be like 20% racist.
Relatable. Spot on!
More of Leslie please!
😂❤luvin her nw and it's the first time i seen her
She's funny, glad she's starting to be recognised. Good luck to her!
Leslie! I was just watching your set this morning on UA-cam. Love you! Happy for you to get onto TTS! I'm a single guy whose dating life makes no sense and I'm angry too. "The one" i'm looking for -- yeah. She's so in trouble and I've not even met her yet. But Wow, as a performer we all know what that's like. The jokes in the set are planned to kill. And then there's a man, Tariq, who wears a hat in your "sight line" and you're thinking. Do I tell this last hat joke, or try to improv. And you stick with the routine. You did good. Tariq will be your friend forever, and next time you can do new material!
Dude you’re writing a comment on UA-cam. You’re not speaking to her. Get a reality check you weirdo.
omg, I definitely saw her at the Santa Monica pier a while back! not performing, just waiting around. said she was meeting someone there for a date. It was 9ish.
We love Leslie!
She would be great doing voiceover work
I love her. The part about being the monster is so relatable 😂
Love this, get it girl!
Slow start but finished strongly. 👏
Yay I hoped she’d get a Netflix special
Yess Leslie!
absolutely loved her! will definitely catch her show on netflix.
(all the references prolly flew over boomers’ and gen x heads) 🤭
I can relate.
Your reference comment totally reminds me…
A lot of people in younger generations probably think "prolly” has always been a word!
Tarik was like what did I do 😂
Pretty good 👍. She got the audience laughing and into it.
Love her voice and she is funny. Congrats to her for this debut.
May she go on to more success.
I do agree with her, women are gorgeous. Uffff!
i loooove her voice
So evokingly hilarious
Bravo!!!!
she's so great
Crazy how vulnerable comedians be
I'm so happy for her. She came a long way
Omg I love her 😂😂😂😂
Yay!! Congrats on the feature! 🎉
I usually find men attractive from afar but lose interest once I talk to them 😜
Awesome job!
She's awesome!
Her voice is sensual and seductive!!!!
Ive been waiting for MORE Leslie LIAO!!!! YAOOOhHH! cant wait see you sexy deep voice sis! cant wait til you whisper low tone your whole
comedy to us! SING IT!!!
barry white!
Literally just watched her DryBar set before bed last night, what a coincidence
Thank you for mentioning that!
I’ll have to pull that up!
This girl is funny!
Love love love her 🤣😂
She is very good.
I’m white and grew up in the OC as an Asian and speak Mandarin.
She is really good. First rate.
People from OC have such a hard life.
That’s funny! 😆
If it’s NOT sarcastic on your part
It’s REALLY FUNNY! 😳🤣
Too bad it wasn't on HBO I really want to see more of her stuff and by HBO I mean Max
Love her 😂
Too funny. I was married to a Chinese woman for 12 years until covid happened and now she’s on her 2nd boy friend. I tell myself she walked out on her family because I refused to pay her dad a tithe. Her parents called me Fay Dzai which roughly translates to “fat boy” in Cantonese. My name is also Russ. Why couldn’t I get that cool nickname like that audience member in one of your shows?: “White King of China?” Thank you!!!!
I like her!
She is funny.
She spoke out the inner voice of women and the men in the comments cannot handle it.
I know her from tik Tok and I love her material
Hi There (audience laughter) You got that voice when your ASMR gig flopped (haha) You got that voice from a viral infection in O.C. oceans (haha) You got that voice screaming for the Champion L.A. Rams to return to the O.C. (haha)
I didn’t even crack a smile…
wow!!!!
Similar experience as a black dude it's just like cut my life into pieces
Being BLACK in Jim crow Anti-Black racist Amerikkk can do that to you.
Is this when I'm supposed to laugh?
Jeongyeon, ryujin voice ugh Kelly Clarkson loves it too!
Hilarious, but I didn't get the dad missing games in 3:00. Can someone explain it to me pls 😅
She means the guy played school sports as a kid and his father missed those games, if I understood your question right
What's wrong with Costo basketball shorts? Fiscally responsible.
❤
Damn I wanted to hear more about her thought you guys were gonna talk
So funny
Amazing! In the past, Chinese & Westerners saiid that Chinese & other aasuansa were toi reserved!
Niw there is a generation of Chinese & others, like
Leslie Lia
He Husng
Dawn Wong
Jiaoying Summers
Chinese + Jessie
Etc.?
Chinese (& other E SE S Asian
comediennes have arrived !!!
Men, this is why you don't want to get married. Yes, now you remember.
Deep voices are better if you want to sound serious and be promoted to boss 😂
Catch the rising star
The big question: In what way would her search for a successful male-female relationship beneficial to both parties possibly be realized in a culture where such relatiohips are so despised anbd opposed by those in charge of the current propaganda narrative?: Why should any of us care about the destructive goals of such propaganda?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a Chinese-American from Orange County… I didn’t find this all that funny
I'm in to her. ♥
Why you so mean to me? I told you that shit and you're OK with it? I love you
LOL
😂😂😂😂😂
😂hey hey. Wvu
we know why you're single lol
Lol, she was pretty good. Nice job.😂
I will marry you, Leslie!
I related to everything except the Asian part - a gay white man fed up with men but still hoping for a good husband
Her voice. Mh.
Hehe buying a house
05:02 - if women would be gorgeous they wouldn't need filters...including the AFK filter known as make-up.
❤😂
I mean to be honest women are hot. they don't seem to keep me mentally intrigued or interested half the time might be because I have adhd. I could talk with men for days on end about interesting topics.
😂😂😂
you gotta approach these with an open mind.
A lot of you have already made up your mind before she uttered the first word.
