Comedian Leo Reich dishes on erotic movies, his new HBO special & his childhood crush on Knuckles the Echidna
A post shared by Leo Reich (@leo_reich)If you don’t already know about Leo Reich…. where have you been?We only ask because the British comedian and writer has been everywhere lately.
His first-ever hourlong comedy special, Leo Reich: Literally Who Cares?! made its official debut at the world-famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, then went on to do successful runs at London’s Soho Theatre and Off-Broadway in New York City, racking up awards, acclaim, and adoring fans in the process.And now, Reich is bringing Literally Who Cares?!
right into your living room—that’s right, the twenty-something comic is the latest to having his rising stardom solidified with an HBO comedy special all his own, currently streaming via Max.Hailed by The New York Times as a wickedly funny “avatar of Gen Z disaffection,” Reich’s stage persona is both hilariously self-effacing and absolutely delusional in the best way.
For example, the comics like to share that he feels “very lucky to be queer—branding-wise. Psychologically, it’s a nightmare, but it’s very good for my brand.”Oh, and did we mention he’s a pop star in the making?
