Within a year her talents lead her the semi-finals of Portland's Funniest Professional Contest. Now with over 3 years under he belt Leslie has begun to branch out to such exotic locales From Boston to Danforth (in your face) Maine. As Leslie has preformed for numerous colleges and corporate events around the New England area. Leslie has had the pleasure of opening for many top national acts such as Steve Caouette, Tom Cotter and Kerri Louise, George Hamm and her favorites Courtney Cronin and Patty Ross.

My Interests

If you don't know this then you should! IT is fantastical!

I'd like to meet:



I MET MIKA!!!!!!!!!!!! Picture it Boston 2007 it was a gritty club I was tired and sweaty and there like a beacon of hope he sat! I went up to get my autograph and just as I went to tell him "I adored YOU" My sister busts in and has to tell him "I myspace you every week, Mika!" Thunder. stolen. Just like when we met Richard Simmons in 1986 at the FoxRun Mall in NH

I forgive her because I steal her thunder constantly and she did pay for the tickets and the CD's that night... and she is the undisputed Mega MIKA groupie and I would not really know about him had she not introduced me so ... she wins fair and square!
