The Scottish Comedian of the Year 2017/18 has been banned from many things – hotels, venues, Facebook, sexual positions. In 2019, Leo’s show Right-Wing Comedian was protested at UK dates and banned from Australian Fringe venues following allegations of transphobia – despite being written with a transwoman he was dating. His new show looks at history’s greatest transgressors, from Gallileo to Gandhi, and rips into modern political correctness, censorship and victim culture. 'Kearse is seriously good. Quick, funny, smart and to the point... Hilarious' (Scotsman). 'A giant of the art' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Genuinely offensive... A traumatic experience (TheNationalStudent.com).
