Whilst not every joke quite lands its mark, this gag-packed show is a breath of fresh air, with great right-wing comic observations throughout.


Sick of sanctimonious lefties lecturing you about global warming, Jeremy Corbyn and sexism? Award-winning comedian Leo Kearse slaughters these sacred cows with razor sharp wit and shows that it's right to be right wing. You'll leave the show a fan of nuclear power, capitalism and voting Tory! 'A giant of the art' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Kearse is seriously good. Quick, funny, smart and to the point... hilarious' (Scotsman). 'Very funny, occasionally shocking but edgily likeable and happily endearing' **** (List). Warning: not for the easily offended.

Some of the best Brexit gags from Edinburgh Fringe

Leaving the EU is not an inherently humorous topic but as the saying goes 'if you don't laugh, you'll cry'. Here John Nicholson rounds up some of the best Brexit gags from Edinburgh Fringe.

Comedy: culture's ghetto?

It's a hot-button issue at last: the establishment thinks that comedy is worthless. Leo Kearse (Tory capitalist) and Rob Mulholland (socialist working-class agitator) have joined forces to ask why public money is only ever spent on entertainment few of us want.

Comics stand-up for the politically incorrect at Fringe

Comedy is currently more prescriptive than at any time I can remember. Prescriptive of words, of subjects, even of opinions. And that is worrying. The current industry-standard stand-up has to abide by a list of prohibitions that make a gluten-free, vegan shopping expedition seem simple. There are 328 recognised gender identities, Leo Kearse tells his packed audience, and reads a few from his phone. Canada has just passed a law making the non-use of the correct gender pronoun in any given situation an offence, he says. He thinks this is a bit much.

The Edinburgh interviews 2017: Leo Kearse

In Leo Kearse's latest show he claims that he can convince his audience members to vote Tory by offering the joys of the right wing political sphere. Kearse is also the co-creator of Hate 'n' Live, where topics suggested by audience members are 'hated on' by comedians most nights at the Fringe. He is performing his free show in the Gothic Room at the Three Sisters throughout August.

Fringe 2017 - Leo Kearse: I Can Make You Tory

Award-winning comedian Leo Kearse has betrayed his Scottish upbringing and hippy parents and now slaughters liberal sacred cows with razor sharp wit, showing audiences that it's all right to be right.

Kara Alberts, The Edinburgh Reporter, 7th July 2017

#EdFringe17: Leo Kearse can make you Tory

Relish 15 minutes of stand up and chat with the Trump-supporting Scottish comedian. Leo challenges lefties to appreciate the benefits of nuclear power, capitalism, traditional values and in the end, he says, he can make you Tory.
