Leslie Jones
About the Event
Ever since her 2014 breakout year on “Saturday Night Live”, comedian Leslie Jones' star has skyrocketed to the point where it's no exaggeration to call her one of the world's funniest and most beloved comedians. A multiple Emmy Award-nominee, Jones has become a recognizable face as the host of “Supermarket Sweep,” “The Daily Show”, the BET Awards and the MTV Movie Awards, along with regular appearances on “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune” and “RuPaul's Drag Race.” Well-known on the silver screen as one of the core cast for the 2016 reboot of “Ghostbusters,” Jones has also established herself as a much in-demand voice actor, as heard in “The Angry Birds Movie" and “Sing.” Jones' latest work is The New York Times bestselling memoir Leslie F*cking Jones,” a rollicking autobiography that surveys the state of her life in the spotlight at 55 and takes no prisoners. For her Clarice debut, Jones rolls out a night of jokes, celebrity stories and some unexpected surprises for a laugh-filled set you won't forget!
