Last year (2024) I wrote a blog post about the talented, “politically incorrect” comedienne Leonarda Jonie. On May 30 of this year I had the awesome experience of seeing her perform live in Boston.
Leonarda’s appearance had already been cancelled at her first Boston venue (doubtlessly due to pressure from the left). But nothing stops Leonarda, so she rebooked her show at an American Legion post—no one’s going to push veterans around!
I went with a group of my long-time “truther” friends. Three of us had front-row seats. When I learned that Leonarda was going to be preceded by four other comics, I groaned at having to wait. Then someone in the audience said, “You haven’t been to many comedy shows, have you?” I hadn’t. Headliner comics are usually preceded by warmup comedians who do short routines.
The four warmup comics had all been handpicked by Leonarda. They were “politically incorrect” and funny. One, from the UK, cracked jokes about immigration and censorship in Britain. The last was Leonarda’s fiancé.
She had recently done a humorous short announcing her running for President:
So I brought a “Leonarda for President” sign. After the show, she signed it for me:
As for her performance—second to none! She had the sold-out audience (about 300 people) roaring from beginning to end. If you’re familiar with Leonarda, you know her edgy humor goes after the left—liberals, commies, gays, feminists, trannies, diversity hires, illegal immigrants. She’s hip to 9/11, the COVID vaccine, and just about every form of Deep State tyranny.
And she doesn’t hold back on what we now call “racist” jokes. Actually, ethnic humor was quite acceptable when I was growing up. When I was a boy in the 1960s, my parents gave me a large book of jokes as a present. It included a section of ethnic jokes, subdivided by ethnicity, and no groups were spared—Irish, blacks, Italians, Jews, Poles, Scots, etc. In those days, no one seem to care or get offended. The book was issued by a mainstream publisher.
Along those lines, there was a classic joke that went like this:
In Heaven:
The police are British
The cooks are French
The engineers are German
The administrators are Swiss
The lovers are Italian
In Hell:
The police are German
The cooks are British
The engineers are Italian
The administrators are French
The lovers are Swiss
The joke underscored that, broadly speaking, all races—like people—have their own strengths and weaknesses, which eventually became caricatures.
When Dirty Harry came out in 1971, Clint Eastwood took it to a new level, but I don’t recall anyone complaining about this scene (you may need to click the video twice):
And when Richard Pryor helped Gene Wilder pretend to be black, in order to elude cops in Silver Streak (1976), no one screamed about “stereotypes” or “cultural appropriation.” Society then was so much more laid back:
Given all the CRT hatred being directed toward whites these days, I think Leonarda’s ethnic humor is giving people of white European descent a welcome relief valve.
The arts are always a matter of individual taste, but I personally think Leonarda is the best comic I’ve ever seen—funnier than George Carlin, Rodney Dangerfield, and all the rest.
Her spontaneity is stunning. At one point, she called four total strangers out of the audience and did a routine with them. At the end of her performance, she fielded questions. The audience asked about twenty, and she gave a hilarious answer to every one.
Of course, Leonarda’s humor appeals to the “awake,” not the “woke.” After we left the venue, one of the friends I came with told me about something I hadn’t noticed. All during the performance, while the audience was laughing, the female bartenders at the adjoining bar were watching with expressions of shock and disbelief.
If you’re looking for a unique good time, try to get Leonarda for your city. You can find samples of her humor on her YouTube channel. Be advised, she does use profanity and her humor may be too raunchy for some.
By the way, I think she’d make a great President. Here’s why:
• She’s right on the political issues;
• She’s unafraid and clear-thinking, responding intelligently and briskly to any situation;
• She’s funny;
• She’s hot.
In other words—she’s everything candidate Hillary Clinton was NOT.
