Recommended by British Comedy Guide
“Louise Leigh is a really strong act. Super accessible to everyone, plus for 30+ women in the crowd she has that sort of ‘our champion’ energy you see in Lindsey Santoro. She’s cool as fuck, unflappable and I’ve seen her kill at a 300 capacity posh charity gala, as well as smashing a pub gig I’d already given up on as an unplayable room.”
