Leonard Ouzts is one of the most popular and most televised young comedians today. Originally hailing from Chesapeake, VA, his work has been featured on every platform from HBO to MTV to Comedy Central. In addition to stand-up, Leonard’s established himself as a strong and uniquely savvy actor, with appearances in Netflix’s Emmy Award-winning series “Master of None” and NBC’S “Abby’s,” as well as feature films “Standing Up and Falling Down” (with Billy Crystal and Ben Schwartz), “Like Father” (with Kelsey Grammar and Kristen Bell), and “Set It Up” (with Lucy Liu). He also co-starred in the viral “3 Brothers Moving” commercial for Tristate.

Leonard was a “New Face” at the prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal and performed on “Conan” where he received a standing ovation.

His first comedy special, “The Big Joker,” is currently available to stream on 85 South’s YouTube and his newest special “Lil Sumn Sumn” was released in September 2026.

When he’s not on the road or on set, Leonard hosts “Young, Black, and Funny,” a live comedy show series he co-founded with friend and fellow comedian Vincent Bryant.
