A stalwart, a steady hand, one of Scotland's best comics.
Been in the game for 13 years and just getting started.

What people say
Edinburgh Laughter Bulletin (2024)

'Ross Leslie, though, is one of those rule proving exceptions. A bossman who can do the do. His comedy is biographical and original, unpredictable and vividly fresh. 

​​

Leslie's talent is that he glides through his personal musings with a naturally tight finesse. He has an obvious compulsion to land every sentence with a laugh, often a big belly laugh. Early doors he ignites us with a blast off line about his ability to unlock phones. A credentials establisher that is a step more special than it needs to be. A hack conceit would have done, his instincts are sharper than merely getting away with it.'

British Comedy Guide (2024)
'Ross Leslie is a nimble compere, who kept the night on track with a gentle authority and, when he shifted into material, he got big around the room responses'.

Student Newspaper (2021)
'Leslie notably commands the room with easy-going charm.  Leslie finishes the show and finishes it well, he has the wonderful ability to poke fun at almost everything without being mean...'

Fringe Monkey (2021)
'This is a solid set of conventional standup from the well-regarded club comic. There's no real theme but family crops up & there's an incident with some keyboard warriors. Audience interaction works well too'.

Glasgow Social Events (2019)
'Ross Leslie is a must see, funny funny stuff'.

One4Review (2019)
'Ross is an engaging and interesting comic, easy to listen to and has loads of laughs woven into his narrative'.

The List (2018)
'Easy flow and solid gag rate'.

Chortle (2018)
'He had a robustly put-together set….with a nice variety of gags and pleasing turns of phrase'.
