I have to agree. Ali works get delivery extremely well but Leslie’s raw jokes and actual humour are vastly superior. @@mb0133

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.

Leslie! I was just watching your set this morning on KZfaq. 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!

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.

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!!!!
