Leo Reich: Literally, Who Cares?! (IAM)

By | Published on Saturday 27 August 2022

Leo Reich has proven he has his finger firmly on the pulse in this epic hour of stand-up, a satirical exploration of modern-day talking points – from social media self-obsession to casual sex – dealing with these topics with a refined sense of irony, snappily putting into words the absurdities of our consumerist, narcissistic culture. Throughout, he impressively juggles singing, dancing and reading from his memoir/novel/screenplay, giving the show an exciting dynamism. In a particularly funny musical number he makes a mockery of the ‘old people’ who think the younger generations have it easier; as someone in his early 20s he skilfully explores the trials and tribulations of Gen-Z life, and his own experiences growing up as queer. His quick quips and storytelling powers are electric. This isn’t the last we’ll see of Leo Reich.

Pleasance Courtyard, until 28 Aug.
