Scottish Comedian Of The Year WINNER: Leo Kearse Is Bringing The Laughs Out Loud – Adelaide Fringe Review

The Austral Hotel – The Red Room, Sun 18 Feb. [COMEDY/STAND UP – UK] The winner of the Annual Scottish Comedian Of The Year 2017 gets a grand prize – the opportunity to perform and the Adelaide Fringe Festival in Australia!!! Yes! And perform he did! Leo Kearse hasn’t seen a vegetable in a while, coming from Scotland, but he manages to draw carrots out of butts in his warm-up. The ability to connect with the crowd is immediately apparent, and despite labelling himself as an ‘aggressive beggar’ he is warm, VERY funny, and deserves his title. No, he is not going through a ‘goth phase’ despite the red room décor. Leo has us laughing out loud for most of the show, and yep, some of us completely lost it in fits of giggles. Kilt it - a lotta laughs. 4.5 stars Karen Bailey Scottish Comedian Of The Year WINNER continues at The Red Room at The Austral Hotel from 6pm until Sat 3 Mar.
