“This Edinburgh debut is his announcement to the world. Camp, shallow and delightfully good-fun, it proves he is a star in the making.” – Fest Mag
“Reich’s flouncing, self-obsessed comedy is a brittle skewering of irony and anxiety – and a must-see” – The Guardian
“The British comedian’s new show, Leo Reich: Literally Who Cares?!, is 70 uproarious minutes of Gen-Z self-flagellation, a hilarious tour through all the doubt and self-loathing writhing beneath the seeming confidence of Reich’s surface narcissism.” – Theatrely
“His voice is good, his gags impressive, if at times so on brand it is difficult to tell whether he wants to be a spokesperson for Generation Z or satirise the whole shallow shebang. Probably both. This is a rare hybrid of character comedy and confessional.” – The Standard
