Leslie Gaar is a comedic writer and performer who makes funny stuff on the page, on camera, onstage, and everywhere in between. Her writing has appeared in McSweeney’s and The Washington Post, and she’s written for the Jim Henson Company.

She lives in Austin, Texas, where she makes jokes about politics, culture, and the general absurdity of being alive. Because if we’re going to live in a hellscape, we might as well get some material out of it.
