Leonard Ouzts (Live Special Taping!) Presented by the New York Comedy Festival
17 November 2024
SUNDAY
7:30 p.m.

Join Leonard Ouzts, one of the most popular and most televised young comedians on the circuit today, for the live taping of his second full-length comedy special! Originally hailing from Chesapeke, VA, his work has been featured on every platform from HBO to MTV to Comedy Central. In addition to stand-up, Leonard has established himself as a strong and uniquely savvy actor, with appearances in Netflix’s Emmy Award-winning series “Master of None” and NBC’S “Abby’s,” as well as feature films “Standing Up and Falling Down” (with Billy Crystal and Ben Schwartz), “Like Father” (with Kelsey Grammar and Kristen Bell), and “Set It Up” (with Lucy Liu). He also co-starred in the viral “3 Brothers Moving” commercial for Tristate. Leonard was a "New Face” at the prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal in 2015, and made his Late Night debut on “Conan” in 2016.

In this uniquely vulnerable new hour, Leonard revisits the last few years, some of the hardest of his life, and how he's managed to find humor in it all. From the passing of his beloved mother to Covid-19 and its lasting impacts to the trials of his career, Leonard has faced challenges that would break most people, but they've only built him up – and made him a better comic!
