Leo Reich: Literally Who Cares?!

I was a little skeptical before watching this, but I ended up being impressed. Leo has a lot to say and he says it well. The jokes are clever and often unexpected, nothing predictable here.

Leo also mixes in drama and music but it doesn't detract from this being a comedy show.

Leo identifies as queer and a large portion of the show is related to the topic, so if you're 'phobic then this isn't for you. The jokes work regardless, I actually laughed out loud a couple of times.

Leo is only 23 but given his confidence I think he can only continue to improve. Overall I was pleasantly surprised, definitely worth watching.

I laughed harder at this than any standup comedy show I've ever seen! It is poignant, smart, timely, and just amazingly, gloriously, unapologetically hilarious! Leo has an insightful, biting, appropriately cynical perspective on this crazy world. What a true talent - I love how he incorporates musical bits. I love how he can opine on our frightening reality in a way that is disarming and, surprisingly, comforting. I love that he weaves his various identities together to create a portrait of someone who is very "on trend" - young, gay, Jewish, British - but he even makes fun of that as he's doing it. A real breath of fresh air.

Leo Reich's Literally Who Cares?! Is a sharp, self-aware comedy special that blends absurdity with social commentary. His delivery is quick-witted, and the show keeps a solid comedic pace throughout. However, one issue stands out-his use of the term "queer" to describe himself, when he is actually bisexual.

While many might not think twice about this, the distinction matters. Bisexuality is a sexual orientation within the LGB community, while "queer" is tied to gender ideology, which is a separate conversation. Misusing these terms only adds to the confusion around identity discussions.

That aside, the show is entertaining, and Reich has a strong comedic voice. If you enjoy satirical humor with a modern edge, it's worth a watch.

I don't get why this guy is given a large platform as a comedian when all his jokes are jokes you'd hear from any gay guy who is cracking a joke on Reddit. It's like a theatre kid was given a microphone and told, here, make some jokes. I'm convinced there is an actual laugh track and/or people in the audience are paid actors (especially the people in the very front row). This guy has to be a nepo baby or has big connections in high places because he does not have any talent as a comedian. Perhaps HBO gave him a special just because he's gay and not because he's actually funny.

I give him 1 star for the eyeshadow and because he's kinda cute and a further 2 stars for his comedy and stories for a total of 3/10.

0 stars for the outfit.

Not funny.gave it a good 20 minutes to see whether warming up to the observational humour would improve the performance, but unfortunately fell flat and unforgivably boring. Needs to get over himself and his narrow point of view to be relatable. Making mild shock statements does not make for funny. Using the offensive Q word it was a word of hurt and pain and should not be reclaimed as it never was a word of inclusion but of singling out people as not normal. I get it he never had had to fight for acceptance and his basic human rights, but he belittles all those who have gone before with his spouting garbage in the effort to be humorous. I've seen drag acts in bars funnier and more entertaining and engaging. Leo has his niche but it's a miss in my opinion.
