Louise Leigh is living proof that a midlife crisis doesn’t have to involve a Harley Davidson and an underwear model (yet).
Since starting to do stand-up in her forties she has been enjoyed by critics and audiences alike. Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year finalist, British Comedian of the Year semi-finalist, Funny Women semi-finalist.
Catch Louise’s new show, “Louise Leigh Distracted” at in various forms of completeness on the way at venues all over the country.

Guests so far include Comedians like Angela Barnes, Felicity Ward and John Robertson as well as internet superstar Jackie Weaver and Eastenders and Bad Girls actor, Simone Lahbib as you’ve never heard her before.
