    222: Teacher by Day, Headliner by Night: Leslie Rob’s Viral Rise in Comedy (Ep 222)
    May 21 2025
    Laughers, get ready to be uplifted and energized by the incredible journey of Leslie Rob—teacher, powerhouse comedian, viral sensation and all-around encourager! Dive into the hilarious (and sometimes unexpected!) stories behind her gigs, including that time she thought a legit offer to perform in Hawaii was a scam and hit “block.” Laugh along as she recalls her unconventional entry into stand-up (her first set was at a comedy association conference after barely performing anywhere else), how going viral with teacher comedy changed her career, and why she says you should just “do it scared” when chasing your dreams. Discover the heart and humor behind her Epic Ladies Night tour—a comedy ministry built to break the chains of perfectionism and remind us all we’re not alone in our struggles. Whether you’re a teacher, an aspiring comic, or just someone who loves to laugh, this episode is packed with authentic joy, real talk about faith and therapy, and the inside scoop on Leslie’s upcoming shows—including her headlining night at Massanutten Resort Comedy Club on June 12th! Be inspired to leave perfection behind, chase your purpose, and find your people. Cheers!
