2011 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

One of the most exciting new stand-up comedians on the circuit, Jeff Leach, star of Big Brother's Big Mouth and BBC Switch, will be baring his soul in his debut hour at The Pleasance Courtyard Hut throughout the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Jeff Leach is a young lad with a penchant for making people laugh, prone to bouts of open and brash exploration of his twisted little private life. He will be baring his soul and revealing all in this unrelenting and gratuitous insight into his sordid private life. He will be sharing stories and intelligent observations on his own twisted and sordid personal life experiences and the fallacies of human nature.

The show arcs across this rock and roller's life, from his strangely sexually open childhood in the suburbs of London to being groomed by his paedophilic Latin teacher, the pain and embarrassment of first love and heart-break to being kicked in the head until unconscious by violent attackers, his never-ending awkward experiences of relationships with porn stars and celebrities to losing control of his bowels mid-morning on the London Underground after an immense drug binge!

Jeff Leach exploded onto on the stand up comedy scene, leaving audiences in electrified stitches in his wake. After two years in the world of television presenting shows such as BBC Switch, T in the Park Festival, Comic Relief, Virgin Music On Demand and Big Brother's Big Mouth, Jeff is now focusing on his first love, comedy. He ventured into the world of stand-up in March 2010, fast becoming an unstoppable force. Now, in just over a year of performing Jeff has been a London New Comedian Awards Finalist, a Laughing Horse New Act Semi-Finalist, performed on a starstudded bill at the prestigious Comedy Store venue, sold out Manchester and Leicester Comedy Festivals and taken on the mantle of worthy headliner at a ludicrously long list of comedy clubs.

Jeff is the face of the Virgin Media channel, interviewing the latest artists in the charts such as JLS, Robyn, Professor Green and Roll Deep with a comical, intelligent and inimitable style that makes audiences warm to him instantly; Jeff's on screen ability is both professional and fresh. Jeff is currently filming two new docu-tainment shows for Current TV and writing sketch and character comedy regularly.
