Testimonials

Leo consistently delivers as one of North Carolina’s funniest comics.
— North Carolina Comedy Arts Festival
Simply enjoyable. Leo Hodson is a stellar stand up comedian who can bring the big laughs. He wins over crowds with his original wit and strong delivery.
— Idiot Box Comedy Club (Steve Lesser)
Leo Hodson doesn’t rely on his disability for all of his material, but he also isn’t afraid to make light of it in a thoughtful way that makes me laugh every single time I see him perform. I also see new material from him every time I see him. What takes many comics years to achieve, Hodson has done. He is the same person on stage that he is offstage. Funny, lovable and warm.
— Cape Fear Comedy Festival
It’s hilarious. (in reference to Wheel Crime)
— Maria Bamford (Actress/Comedian)

— Nic Nicovich (Actor/Comedian/Founder of Easterseals Disability Film Challenge)


 

Leo Hodson grew up in Asheboro, (small town, NC) home to the world’s largest habitat zoo. But you won’t mistake his performance for a small town feel. He has performed across the country (NYC, ATL, DEN) in various venues to thousands at a time.

He brings a unique perspective and incisive wit to his craft. With a concrete understanding of timing, Leo delivers a memorable performance that leaves audiences laughing, thinking and cheerful.

About Me

MY NAME IS LEO

Welcome. This site was originally created after I suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury. Initially, all I could do was blink…..I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t speak, couldn’t move anythinbg below my neck…..For 22 years I walked and then….everything changed. I wouldn’t be where I’m at without my faith or the people in my life who have supported me, who’ve helped guide me to where I’m at and where I’m going. I am an award winning comedian, a writer, an actor, a doodler, a quadriplegic, a husband, a father, a filmmaker, a dancer and whatever fictional character my children wish for their fancy. Please reach out and check out my work. I’ve been fortunate enough to perform alongside some of the industries funniest entertainers such as Drew Michael, Emo Phillips, Myq Kaplin, Sara Schaefer, Sean Patton, Ryan Singer and more.
