She’s amazing. I love Mexican comedy
😂😂😂😂😂
Simp
🤣You Funny 😅
XDD omfg
I'd say more Mexi-surf-ican. She's def a narly Tio ya know bro.
"Next time when you are feeling down, just remember no one cares about you, you dont matter to others" - I was feeling down and this was quite inspiring for me!
It’s actually uplifting that’s the funny thing. Like ok you failed that class. You’re in your 5th break up. You got fired from your job. No one cares. Failure sucks because we think people care about us enough to be disappointed. Like we have an audience. You tell someone you failed a test it’s like yeah.. ok? I didn’t expect you to be a genius. You thought I would be shocked? No. You’re normal. Average people fail classes sometimes. I know someone in your life told you you were special as a child. Exceptional. They put you in gifted classes. You’re not special lol. You’re just some guy that fails more often than he succeeds. There’s something liberating about that.
I think it applies most to physical appearance kinda things. It's a relief to realize no one really cares how you look
This is exactly what I have always been telling myself if I ever catch myself dwelling on something embarrassing I did.
@@justincase7848Even just for yourself it's nice to be able to be indifferent about how you look (which is of course hard to isolate from how you think others perceive you but hey)
And then funnily enough it's a lot easier to "look good" when you're not preoccupied with "not looking bad".
@@metallsnubben without even getting into all the teenage trauma involved lol
She has such a beautiful, deep voice. She should do voice work. I could listen to her all day.
people that know me knows I get the hots for deep guy voices, but I have no problem perking up as soon as she spoke a syllable lmao
100% agree. I am a show producer/director, and from the moment she started speaking, I was like, "That's a great voice - somebody get her under contract STAT."
I’d love to hear her sing!
@@Kris-cl5nl Only if she has that gift.
Her voice is majestic
The “you don’t matter to other people” bit is such a real piece of advice for us 20 somethings with crippling self conscious anxiety.
it's so real because i think i take up way more space in other people's heads than i actually do
20 somethings? Please. Millennials have been finessing our way through lives of crippling anxiety since before Cobain mistook a shotgun for a lolly pop...
...it's good advice for anyone roughly 40 and under.
The comedian exposure ive gotten thanks to Dont tell comedy is insane. +1 fan Leslie
This channel is fuckin GOATED when it comes to underground comedy
Facts!!!
Don’t Tell is my #1 rn. Love all the comedians I’m getting exposed to 🙌🏽
Spot on! Every set I’ve seen on this channel has been funny AF
Hell yeah!! You can keep supporting Leslie and your other DTC faves through Instagram! Leslie's IG is @resrieriao and you can find us at @donttellcomedy :)
As a straight man who wears gym shorts way too often, I laughed hard at this. Now time to pass out in bed and get promoted.
😅😅😅😅😅 congratulations in advance on your next promotion
Remeber to pee before you pass out man
That one bit where women get ready to go to bed is so real. Like you just stay there in bed wondering what are they up to spending an hour just to go to sleep 😂
ive spent 10-15 minutes getting all cleaned up and ready for bed, then my partner wants to make out but by then im pretty damn tired lol
@@vivsevs1087lol so true! Ain’t nobody fucking up my skin after I just spent 30 minutes applying $100 worth of products just to look decent when I wake up
The beauty standards for women are insane, we have been learning our whole lives that our beauty is our most important asset if we want any manner of success in our romantic relationships, at our jobs, or socially. Couple that with the fact that in any given situation there’s always someone letting us know what they like/don’t like about our appearance. Women simply aren’t discussed without, at minimum, some clarification on whether or not she’s beautiful, it’s the first and last thing anyone will ever say about us. It’s a tiny little cage that we have all been brainwashed into keeping ourselves in, for as long as we possibly can, because once you’re out of that cage you simply no longer exist. #BUMMERFEMINISM 💅🏻🫠
as a guy, getting ready for bed wakes me up... knocking out in my clothes all disheveled was easier 😅
Pajamas and flossing is wakeful, I can't imagine a spa routine before bed 😅
@@rainbomg It's mostly other women who push the need for makeup, unique outfits, etc. Most men don't care about your appearance unless you look obese, malnourished, or otherwise ill. It's true that we'll notice when you put effort into your appearance, but we won't notice when you don't.
My brother is a mediocre guy named Greg who only wears graphic tees, this one cut deep
69th like. Nice. Also don't worry, your brother will marry Leslie Liao one day, he's gonna be fine.
Lol!!!
That idea that nobody cares about you has saved me a lot of grief over the years. The fact that I am, at worst, an inconvenient NPC in someone else's story arc means that I can go about my day and be basically invisible about 90% of the time.
it's more than 90
There is a percentage of the population who very genuinely cares for other people including strangers. Environment can beat it out of people so cities you will see less of it. When I got really sick recently and needed help I discovered something really interesting. The people who I thought cared about me didn't, and some of the people I thought didn't care actually did.
They don't "care" about you because they don't know you. Like how TF you expect some rando's to give half a s%^t about you if at least they don't know your voice?
“I’m attracted to men, but I don’t find men.. attractive” omg I know exactly what she means! 😂 …😭
[edit…months later.. I’m still getting butt-hurt comments from guys. This is actually fascinating. ]
@@throwbackgaming3867 ikr.. my friends ask why I’m avoiding a relationship.. answer, haven’t got the energy!
@@Celeste-in-Oz have either of you thought that maybe you’re the problem? Trying to always fix somebody is not really attractive you know.
@@lawrencevaughn9149 honey no need to get hissy.. I never said I ever tried to fix anyone.. only said I don’t have energy for a bf 🤷🏻♀️
It's so strange but captures my feelings about women. All my mates are like "look at her, she's so attractive or have you met her, she's so fun" and all I'm thinking is "she's forgettable".
@@hislord1 there’s 8 billion of us, spinning thru an indifferent universe… we’re all forgettable
Loved how the crowd started singing along with her.
It says a lot about the age group and how old we 30s are now
And she didn't give them a chance, love her.
That's how you know they're white like Antifa!
She is such a good singer, I can tell 😊
@@robyn8842actually yea she definitely can sing. Thought the same
Leslie is a storyteller! Her sense of humor is my kind. There are no forceful jokes. The narrative is so smooth and just seamless. That way it feels so natural. Love her standups 👏🙌🫶
I laughed so hard, I almost pissed in my costco gym shorts
😂
Nice 😂
I got mine at tjmax 🤣 but they should still count
😮that was close! Can’t get promoted so soon after the last one eh? :D
Weird flex, but ok
Literally, every guy I've dated, I've thought at least once at some point in the relationship, 'You're next girlfriend is so lucky...she better thank me for the upgrade.' She knows!
Tuh. You'd better say THAT. 😂🙌🏾
I wonder how many guys you dated thought the same thing about your future boyfriends ;)
How about learning to accept and respect other people the way they are?
Guuuurrrll, same! 😅
@@marco1941 nope
She needed more time. 12 mins wasn't enough. 🤣😂🤣😂 Great job, you killed it!
She has more awesome stuff on youtube!
Funny🎉
I agree ❤
I’ve never heard a better articulation of the straight woman’s experience
I've never seen her before but I will def watch her stuff from now on bc she's hilarious.
Leslie is the best!
"you guys just pee, pass out, and get promoted." 💀💀💀👏🏼👏🏼
Don’t 👏🏽 at Your privilege 👊🏽 in front of me!!
“Pee, pass out, wake up and get promoted”
“We just go around fixing each others future husbands”
YES 😂😂 YES WE DO😂
😅😅What accomplishment, you must feel so proud of yourself 😅😅
You know it’s a good joke
As a Divorced women I can confirm
As a male that has been married to a great woman 41 years, YES, she has molded me into something I no longer recognize, so I can attest to that.
So happy for this
"I'm attracted to men, but I don't find men attractive." My sentiments exactly!!😂
I’ve always said I wish I was a lesbian. But sadly, I’m only sexually attracted to men 😞
No wonder the relationships between men and women are worse than ever.
Oh my god! I'm attracted to women but find them ugly internally! So weird
Yeahhhh i feel the same way about women. Now that I hear this coming from a woman I feel like this is probably what happens when people romanticize being in a relationship too much.
@@ducasse8473 yh don’t romanticise things that don’t deserve to be romanticised.
glad the straights are expressing themselves
Mexicans do the best standup 🔥🔥
Not even close
@@bakunawa534joke went all the way over your head
Yea it would be a lot more entertaining if it was.
@@RockNRolla1212 joke went all the way around your head
She is Chinese!!!
"You guys just pee, pass out, wake up and get promoted" 😂
"Don't clap at your privilege in front of me" 😂😂😂
Her carrying the Mexican thread throughout had me wheezing.. loved this!
Idk if it's her voice or her face, but everything this woman says just sounds blisteringly sarcastic. She could recite the ABCs and utterly destroy you. I love her energy so much 💀💀💀
real
Oh my God, the remixing men hits so hard. My ex just got together with a friend of mine and after years of work, he's at a point wants to learn how to practice empathy and go out with her. And I'm just here like YOURE WELCOME
You had nothing to do with that lolz! Yo ass ain’t God so let that hurt go. Maybe look in a mirror and see what need to be changed about yourselves before thinking about others flaws
yeah I'm sure you were just a gem and had nothing to do with it lol. narcissists are really good at taking credit where it isn't due
@@TheForkOnTheLeftist I sure wasn't a saint, but we're talking about a man who shared everything that went through his mind without a filter - that includes the detailed description of the arousal he felt when flirting or sexting with other girls as well as the excitment of developing a crush on someone else amongst other things. Whenever that happened, he used to be surprised when it made me cry. He said he thought I was "cool enough" to be open about stuff like that and I really tried to be. We were a couple for seven years.
As for the part where he didn't like to go out with me, that could've very well be on me. But I like to think that he was simply a little lazy and bored with our relationship. That's what I tell myself in order to not be too sad about it.
When we broke up, he claimed that he felt really bad for the things he said and wants to actively learn to be more empathic. So those are his words.
@@Chiara_ElenaSo because your ex was shitty you have to apply that to men in general? I think most men have empathy lol
@@shrisiva4016 No, it "hits hard" for me (i.e. I could relate) because of my own specific experience with an ex. I was never talking about any other men.
"I've never even met this guy & I'm already mad at him."
Holy hell, she has appropriated white girl culture.
**western feminist culture** 😏
aaaannnd that's why she's single
@zoran6850 I love watching people regurgitate their world view to both bolster their belief and also self soothe.
@@ijustwannaleaveacommentony6511it’s a joke karen
what's a joke karen?@@happym3008
I had rewatch the "Show some respect to your tio" that was pure gold.
“All we do is get ready”
YEAH ITS EXHAUSTING😭😂
"I've been Chinese and I love you guys" That may be my favorite ending to a standup 🤣
Would you mind explaining what she means? I'm a Chinese (from China), I don't understand some of the jokes in English, and I'm just particularly curious about this one. :)
@@dhl567it's a parody of late night talk show hosts going for example, "it's been Jimmy, love you guys, good night!" but since shes probably an up and coming comedian, she just used the most memorable feature of herself, which is being a chinese woman instead of using Leslie which is a really common white woman name. also it's probably a throwback to the mexican joke at the start lol.
@@problemperson4221Ohhhh I see now! Thanks for the very detailed explanation😊
Managed to explain the full straight woman experience in about 5 minutes lol. Amazing 😂
Cut my life into pieces! This is my last resort 😂👍🏾🔥
Awesome set 👍🏾😊
It will be okay Brendan. Sip your Jamba Juice
@@gaurav889me is not Brendan me is Kyler, I'm a mix between Kyle and Tyler, y'all fuck with papa roach or what ? Let's fucking go dude 🤘🏿
*Motorbike noises*
She seems like a fantastic, fun and genuine person. Loved the skit as well as her no-nonsense presentation.
From 0 to 100mph from the opening line!
Leslie gets everyone on her side immediately and makes no excuses. Her openness and genuine attitude makes her jokes hit that much harder.
Would love to see more female comics like her. Thanks for sharing DTC :)
You can tell she really cares, & she's deep, but she will rip the piss out of you in a most subtle way. Yet she'll still reveal her vulnerability, I may not know her but I respect her.
I love the send off "I've been Chinese, thank you"
Would you mind explaining what she means? I'm a Chinese (from China), I don't understand some of the jokes in English, and I'm just particularly curious about this one. :)
@@dhl567The joke is referring to how her nephew thought she is Mexican (joked about in the beginning of the video). Throughout the video, she joked multiple times about being Mexican (such as being called tío, Spanish for uncle). The "I am Chinese" joke in the end is supposed to clarify that she is Chinese, which is funny because it's insanely obvious.
@@marble-soda-pop-pop Ahh I get it now! I thought when she said 'I've been Chinese' she meant her behavior has some stereotypical (bad/strange) traits that is common among Chinese people lol. Thanks a lot for the explanation!
the gnarly with the hard R made me burst out laughing at work, ridiculous
She’s so damn funny! Can’t wait to see more of her ❤
“I’m attracted to men, but I don’t find men attractive.” That is a really good line. Made me chuckle.
Even the flip side of it is funny there is a TON of men who wouldn't find her attractive either lol. Women more often than men absolutely loathe the idea that the guy is thinking the same thing about them or similar thoughts.
This was so relatable. Never heard of her but want to see like all her shows! Great points, sincere, funny obviously, and love her voice
“I haven’t even met this man and I’m angry” my sibling was this way. She’s married now and loves her guy so much and honestly it’s worse sometimes
Her voice is golden. Her cadence sets up every joke so we’ll.
She's very good. Its rare to find an exceptional standup talent - and she's got it. Great timing.
"do you know how many bonfires I've been to"
🤣
She is right. Married people especially with kids cannot stop convincing everyone how great their life if when you literally see them exhausted, tired and angry. So they just want to pull you in their miserable life.
It's a cult! 🤣
Not really because they cant be separated you need to know each two that kept going through alot yet they didn't get separate cant think about break up no matter what
This happens to my parents because they got different mentality they fight every day for stupidest shit but once mom decided to leave both of them hadnt much passion to stay away from each other
Also as psychiatrist fights between two married couples make them stronger ofc am not speaking about abuse or mistreatment or cheating but its no way to not fight with someone thats share everything with you for your whole life
People are just scared of being alone, which is why you need friends, family, and/or community along with dating. but too many people depend on dating and marriage to solve their loneliness and they get upset when it doesn't go as perfectly as they expected lol
Things can be worth effort, dude.
Don’t agree
I love being married 😁
As a woman with a deep voice totally get it #tioleslie 😂
My first time seeing Leslie Liao and she really did it for me - love her deadpan expressions and clever wit
I love her.She needs more stage time!!! She's hilarious
Which part was funny? Asking for a friend.
I was just thinking about her nice deep voice 😅😅🤣🤣
She’s trans
th-cam.com/video/rvVxvlbmTl4/w-d-xo.html lmao, so funny :))))
WOW. She killed it from the beginning to the end. Amazing talent.
I'm attracted to men but I don't find men attractive.
I felt that.💀
"I've been Chinese" sent me 😂
Would you mind explaining what she means? I'm a Chinese (from China), I don't understand some of the jokes in English, and I'm just particularly curious about this one. :)
Damn she absolutely killed it ! Definitely one of the funniest sets I’ve seen in a while
"Do you know how many bonfires I've been to in my life?" BAHAHA!!!
LMAOOO SHE'S SO FUNNY. i would watch an hour special of her.
“Nobody cares about you” made me actually laugh out loud
well she’s right
It's both true and helpful! Because if someone doesn't care about you, why do you care about their opinion and why shouldn't you find someone who does care?
She’s super cool for real her comedy is so fresh and funny. Her interaction with the audience and how she makes fun of “Greg” absolutely love that!!
You got me with “Jason, with career ambitions”.
"under the the table, no commissions!" 💀
Leslie Liao always crushing it. Love this set.
She nailed that Last Resort chorus tbh. Pitch perfect.
I could listen to her all day. She has one of the most interestingly poetic & comedic minds I’ve ever encountered.
Really loved the bit about seeing an ethereal man with a hat out on the streets 😂 she sold the shit out of that performance lol ❤
That man was probably her future husband in disguise, and she disregarded him based on how he was dressed lol.
Well done! She has a great dead pan delivery. LOL'd several times
Next time please give her an hour! Solid set, I've enjoyed that a lot 🙏🏼
Hopefully she has an hour prepared.
I highly doubt she got an hour of solid material.
👍🏽
Again doubting a woman and what she has 😒
Wow, she have a great voice for a podcast! funny jokes in a soothing voice!
I just started listening to her the other day. This is crazy and she is so funny
She explained the whole reason why im always questioning my sexuality
Omg I can relate to her so much. Before I was married, damn I was a baller 😂
😂
@@robyn8842A 304 is the real term you are looking for
if you relate to this you do realize you're the problem right? she's just mid and ran through. that's the whole issue right there. why would a woman that looks like that think she deserves some amazing dude after what she's done?
@@robyn8842aka jump-off. Gotcha. Hey it worked out for you. You usually can't turn thots in wives but there's always a sucka to be found. In any case, congrats for finding your simp.
Finally, someone who is actually funny! Thank you, Leslie. I'd totally get ready for you each and every day.
Love DTC. An unaffiliated group of famous and not so famous comedians who get together everywhere, from basements to ballrooms, from bars to your backyard.
The wall is strong in this one.
Shout out to my boys wearing hats right now
“I have never seen a straight man ‘get ready for bed.’”
brilliant jokes & really great delivery - can't wait to see & hear more, super glad to have found out about her talent
Surprisingly- I FOUND MY GREG! 😂 at 54, & He's 53 & awesome! Got a 5ct ring in the 3rd month. Just got back from a 4week European vacation. Met all my family there. Was worth the wait. Best wishes ❤️
3:07 razzmatazz on a sunny day 😂
I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard at a comedian!!! Instant fan! I will be looking for a tour and congrats on the Netflix special!
You must not watch a lot of stand up, or at least good standup
the counting crows bit felt like a personal attack
Same here 😄
"Gnarly with the hard R" GNARRRRLY BRAH
this sounded more like bitter therapy than a comedy session
This set was too good!!! I’m googling her now and checking for tour dates! ❤
"You guys just pee, pass out, wake up and get promoted." 😂
Oh gosh she is such a philosopher who got into the core of being a human in contemporary world
She is somehow my new love language. First time seeing her. Such a fan!!!
Don't clap for your privilege in front of me 😆😅
Wow this was amazing. Btw I’m a straight Latin man. My gf tells me I take two hours to get ready for bed 💀
Welllllllll, it's pride month dude. Don't be afraid to be who you really are lol
@@RockNRolla1212 you making a gay joke? It's 2023 dawg. Update that material
@@Johnnyboycurtis I've watched "This Fool" too
Edit: but like you said "it's 2023" don't be afraid to be yourself! Let that rainbow flag fly foo! Look at it closely
"Gnarly, with a hard 'R' .." broke my brain. She is amazing. ❤
Excellent set, great comic, I love everything about this woman and everything she said. Very funny! My husband and I both gave multiple guffaws throughout. Another DTC banger
She is so close to having the revelation that the men she'd consider being in a relationship with will look at her the same way she sees a guy who is 4'11, 259 lbs, jobless, living in his parents basement, and sleeps with a sonic the hedgehog doll at night.
I can save her.
“Im attracted to men…” omg aint that the gods honest TRUTH!
My favorite Mexican comedian ❤
uncle Leslie is hilarious❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Leslie I think we would be best friends omg. Hardcore relatable set, had a good laugh 😂
her voice is gorgeous actually, i could listen to her all day ❤ I bet shed be amazing at voice over work!
Actually it’s not
OMG!!! She is way too honest and smart. I love her.
Her voice is deep and soothing.
I love her. Leslie is hilarious. Bren watching the few clips she has for years and now on Don't Tell Comedy. Hell yea❤😂
The second I heard her voice, I was captivated. She’s got amazing flow.
“I am a woman. I am doing my best.” Amazing start, just truth
That's an oxymoron.
The Remix part was hilarious. 😂
The man in the Costco basket ball shorts is Adam Sandler
I'd be happy to be this woman's next remix lol
Me in middle school : CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES THIS IS MY LAST RESORT!!!
🤣😂😂
👏👏👏👏 Hilarious
