HBO yesterday revealed the official trailer for Leo Reich: Literally Who Cares?!, premiering December 16th. The hourlong comedy special from the 24-year-old rising British comedian received rave reviews at Edinburgh Fringe Festival and an Off-Broadway run, the special from A24 taped at EartH in London this fall. In addition to performing, the special is also written and executive produced by Reich.
To have been given the opportunity to turn this flamboyant, odd, over-the-top, exhausting show into a comedy special is a dream come true in itself. But to have been able to do it with A24 and HBO is beyond a dream. Being able to make something with the most creative production house for the most innovative network is a privilege that usually only befalls like, Zendaya. I’m honored that these storied institutions are risking their impeccable reputations by putting their names to my gay little comedy show. God bless them. Their funeral!

About Leo Reich: Literally Who Cares?!
Hot. Young. Cool. Fresh. Ripped. Hilarious. Groundbreaking. Avant-garde. These are just some of the words that comedian and writer Leo Reich uses to describe himself. In his first HBO comedy special, this self-diagnosed important young mind faces the swirling uncertainty of our collective future, asking the big questions, such as: “Is this helping?”, “Am I hot?”, and “No offense guys but literally what is going on?” Treading the line between hilarious stand-up and humorless performance art, LEO REICH: LITERALLY WHO CARES?! blends songs, anecdotes, and anxious non-sequiturs in a valiant attempt to raise awareness about important social and political causes… or something.
Watch the official trailer below.
Leo Reich: Literally Who Cares?! premieres Saturday, December 16th at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.
