🌟 🌟Leslie Mitchell (@LeslieMitchellComedy) — Headliner
Leslie Mitchell is a flyover-state comic with a joyful spirit, a boundless passion for cheeseburgers, and comedy that hits the sweet spot of Gen-X life — nostalgia, marriage, menopause, and those classic ‘why did I come into this room?’ moments. She’s performed across the U.S., opening for Dave Attell, Roy Wood Jr., Bobcat Goldthwait, Adrienne Iapalucci, Geoffrey Asmus, and Mary Mack, and has been featured at festivals including the Floodwater Comedy Festival, Alternating Currents, Des Comedié Festival, Last Best Comedy Festival, Hell Yes Fest, Tower City Comedy Festival, Badgerland Comedy Festival, North Carolina Comedy Festival, Funny is Female Festival, and West End Comedy Festival.
Leslie performs both as a solo stand-up and as one-third of the long-running improv troupe Wisenheimer.

No overpriced drinks. No two-drink minimum. Just you, your friends, your favorite snacks, and some of the best stand-up in the city.
