Leo Kearse: Transgressive

Comedy • Stand Up

United Kingdom • SA Premiere

Leo’s previous show Right-Wing Comedian was banned from venues following allegations of transphobia, despite being written with a transwoman he dated. His new show is a candid account of sex and censorship, ripping into political correctness, environmentalists and ‘wokeness’. But most of all the Scottish Comedian of the Year 2017/18 is shockingly funny.

Not for people who sign online petitions. As seen on BBC At The Edinburgh Festivals and the Comedy Store.

"Genuinely thought-provoking and ridiculously funny...a warm and personal show" ★★★★ Scotsman

"One of the funniest shows you'll see all Fringe, Kearse reduces the audience to teary hysterics" Fest

"The audience are in hysterics with his observations on taboo subjects, while his delivery is spot-on. He's hugely engaging" ★★★★ The List

Please note: This event has had a title change from 'Transgressive' since the Adelaide Fringe Guide was printed.
