“Things are dark, but I want to give people a reason to laugh instead of cry,” says comedian and television star Leslie Jones.
You may know her from Saturday Night Live, the Ghostbusters reboot, her singular Olympics commentary, guest spots on The Daily Show, Supermarket Sweep v.2, or even her podcast “The Fckry” and now you can see her in person at the Plaza Live. Her comedy is audacious, unapologetic, topical and perfectly suited for the moment.
She’s got a new and personal comedy special, Life Part 2, out via Peacock at the end of the month, so maybe we’ll get to hear some of the material early?
8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11, Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave., plazaliveorlando.org, $66-$178.
