Description

A transatlantic middle-aged Jewish atheist divorcee walks into a bar... Leslie Gold (as seen at the Comedy Store) delivers her first solo stand-up show, with batshit family drama, bold storytelling, and at least one really good rant. 'Leslie Gold breaks new feminist ground' (Kate Copstick, Scotsman). 'Savvy comedy chops' (EdFringeReview.com). 'An assured performer with charm, charisma and very relatable' (Esther Manito).
