Leo Reich: Literally Who Cares?!

Leo Reich's Literally Who Cares?! Is a sharp, self-aware comedy special that blends absurdity with social commentary. His delivery is quick-witted, and the show keeps a solid comedic pace throughout. However, one issue stands out-his use of the term "queer" to describe himself, when he is actually bisexual.

While many might not think twice about this, the distinction matters. Bisexuality is a sexual orientation within the LGB community, while "queer" is tied to gender ideology, which is a separate conversation. Misusing these terms only adds to the confusion around identity discussions.

That aside, the show is entertaining, and Reich has a strong comedic voice. If you enjoy satirical humor with a modern edge, it's worth a watch.

I was a little skeptical before watching this, but I ended up being impressed. Leo has a lot to say and he says it well. The jokes are clever and often unexpected, nothing predictable here.

Leo also mixes in drama and music but it doesn't detract from this being a comedy show.

Leo identifies as queer and a large portion of the show is related to the topic, so if you're 'phobic then this isn't for you. The jokes work regardless, I actually laughed out loud a couple of times.

Leo is only 23 but given his confidence I think he can only continue to improve. Overall I was pleasantly surprised, definitely worth watching.

I don't get why this guy is given a large platform as a comedian when all his jokes are jokes you'd hear from any gay guy who is cracking a joke on Reddit. It's like a theatre kid was given a microphone and told, here, make some jokes. I'm convinced there is an actual laugh track and/or people in the audience are paid actors (especially the people in the very front row). This guy has to be a nepo baby or has big connections in high places because he does not have any talent as a comedian. Perhaps HBO gave him a special just because he's gay and not because he's actually funny.

I give him 1 star for the eyeshadow and because he's kinda cute and a further 2 stars for his comedy and stories for a total of 3/10.

0 stars for the outfit.

Had no idea what I was getting into when this was recommended to me but I'm glad I took the leap. It starts off at an 11 and Leo rarely takes the foot of the gas. Really enjoyed the blending of different mediums to tell his "story". The energy, the command over the audience, the quick wit and sharp pivots created an amazing ride of brutal honesty depicting an "in this moment" snapshot of current life while being able to laugh at the idea of constantly living at such high stakes.

It's a fantastic visual/musical walk through of a young queer's existential crisis - meets - Bob Hope on his comedy tours for the troops BECAUSE Leo is performing, 100% for us, the zoomers and millennials, who are the foot soldiers, no, the canon fodder for EVERYTHING wrong and given the responsibility to fix it all. And NOW.

We see the world on fire but we we forget we are human, and as one I enjoyed being able to take 60 minutes to laugh maniacally about how truly ducked we are and our eventual demise and I'd say that was 60 minutes well spent.

I laughed harder at this than any standup comedy show I've ever seen! It is poignant, smart, timely, and just amazingly, gloriously, unapologetically hilarious! Leo has an insightful, biting, appropriately cynical perspective on this crazy world. What a true talent - I love how he incorporates musical bits. I love how he can opine on our frightening reality in a way that is disarming and, surprisingly, comforting. I love that he weaves his various identities together to create a portrait of someone who is very "on trend" - young, gay, Jewish, British - but he even makes fun of that as he's doing it. A real breath of fresh air.
