Leslie has been performing and teaching improv, musical improv and sketch comedy for over 20 years. She trained with incredible teachers from the Upright Citizens Brigade-NY, The Peoples Improv Theater, Groundlings and the Magnet Theater. She went on to perform on house teams at UCB-NY, the PIT, Magnet, Annoyance theater, and with musical improv troupe, Baby Wants Candy. Comedy is her passion but she is classically trained in musical theater and loves just as much performing in musicals and plays.
After living in NYC and Los Angeles for over 20 years, performing theater, improv, TV and film, Leslie moved back home and just finished up Fun Home at Uptown Players (Adult Alison) and The Taming (Patricia) at WaterTower Theatre. She continues to perform musical improv in the DFW area at Stomping Grounds and teaches and performs at the Dallas Comedy Club.
Onscreen, she has been seen in numerous commercials for Progressive, Cascade, American Express, Walmart and PBS, to name a few. Most recently, she booked a guest star spot on Cruel Summer, on the Freeform and Hulu networks. Having performed at such great theaters as Goodspeed Opera House, Casa Mañana, Flat Rock Playhouse and Theater Under the Stars, and abroad (Sydney Opera House and Edinburgh Fringe), she still continues to pursue theater work all over the country. Along with stage, TV, film and commercials, Leslie also writes, directs and produces her own storytelling web series titled, Nighty Night with Miss B, a wacky and irreverent bedtime storytelling web series for adults.
Leslie produced an improvised children’s bedtime storytelling podcast We Love Bedtime Stories heard on the Pinna network and most currently, she co-produces and hosts, the Sumo Kaboom Podcast, about one of her other passions... sumo wrestling!
