Tonight at 8PM, I will be performing stand-up at the DC Improv. I recently took their 5 Minutes To Funny class and this evening is the graduation showcase. I can’t wait to get onstage and make folks laugh in real-time as opposed to via a computer monitor or smart phone. Folks who went to last [...]
On The Road To Recovery
by ListenToLeon on 17. Jan, 2012 in Alcohol, Gout, Party, Sick, Stand Up
2012 has been both incredibly promising and agonizingly painful. As you may already know, I have an event coming up January 24th, the likes of which Washington DC has never seen before. It features great music as well as the chance to go up and share your own public rant about ANYTHING. Think “karaoke” meets [...]
Bombing at Laffs On The Harbor
by ListenToLeon on 11. May, 2011 in Comedy, Maryland, Stand Up, Story
I had my worst sober onstage performance ever last night at Laffs on the Harbor. The event was really nice, and I would definitely recommend the show to anyone. Great music, great comedy…and then, there was my storytelling. Leading up to the show, I wasn’t sure if they wanted me to do stand-up or storytelling, [...]

The other day, I got a copy of Donnell Rawlings a.k.a. Ashy Larry’s new comedy DVD, From Ashy to Classy. Once this carefree Saturday rolled around, I decided to watch it. I mean, why not laugh on a day without the stress of picking digital cotton in that great big plantation we call Corporate America? It [...]
I’m Speaking Easy Tonight
by ListenToLeon on 14. Sep, 2010 in DC, Speech, Stand Up, Story
Tonight at 8:00, come through SpeakeasyDC and check me out onstage. Speakeasy is a storytelling event that revolves around a certain theme. The topic of note tonight is “The Underdog: Stories About Beating The Odds.” If you know me, then you already know that I’m going to share what’s probably way too much information in [...]
When The Stank Lingers On…
by ListenToLeon on 15. Dec, 2009 in DC, Stand Up, Stank
Have you ever encountered someone so smelly, so rank, so musty…that his/her smell lingers on long after they’ve left? That happened to me yesterday. I performed a little stand up at Looking Glass Lounge, and after my set, this drunk dude came up to me to talk about comedy. He insisted that he had the [...]
Guess Who’s Back?
by ListenToLeon on 01. Oct, 2009 in Chappelle's Show, DC, Stand Up
Donnell Rawlings is back at the DC Improv this weekend. Last time he was here, I got a chance to meeting him after the show, since I’ve known his brother and sister in law for years. His stand up is just as funny as his work on Chappelle’s Show, so I definitely recommend it. Speaking [...]
