"If ever there is a funny woman to be enamored with, the adorable LESLIE MEISEL would get a resounding vote. Back in 2010-2011, she starred in the sold-out show “Love Can Suck A Dick…And So Can I”, the title itself and her fantastic improv amassing a string of admirers. In 2012, LESLIE’s hilarious ode (by way of a nerdy, groovy dance) to the bride in “Bachelorette” yet again warrants our engrossment. ....LESLIE is a natural when it comes to making us chuckle inside and out. She has just as much comedic flavor to offer as stalwarts Lizzy Caplan or Isla Fisher and TV viewers may have also seen her alongside Alec Baldwin in an episode of “30 Rock”. A genuine charmer, she is finely honed in the art of entertaining us with clever, unrestrained humor and she’s starring in 2 high-profile features, although appearing in a dramatic capacity. First up is the biopic “Kill Your Darlings” centered on great poets of the 1940s with Daniel Radcliffe and after that a romantic drama “In Lieu of Flowers” that’s headlined by Spencer Grammer of “Greek” fame. It will be interesting to see how she handles more staid material onscreen."

"Meisel is deranged and brilliant. She moves between her characters effortlessly. Every gesture, facial expression, and quip appears unforced and honed. Ultimately the show leaves the audience wondering perhaps the best question a comedic semi-one-woman show can: Just who is Leslie Meisel? Crazy and crude? Impassioned and sensitive? A little of everything? In the end, that wondering is what will leave the public demanding more."

"Let’s hear from G.L.O.C.s MEGAN NEURINGER and LESLIE MEISEL about their show, LOVE CAN SUCK A DICK… AND SO CAN I! which has enjoyed a lengthy UCBT NY run and just returned from playing UCBT LA, how a pop star inspired their work and their obsession with making you laugh so hard you shit your pants. Now!"

"A delightful tale of heartbreak by Leslie Meisel—who manages the impressive feat of being adorable, sexy, and hilarious all at the same time, and is a sharp comedic talent very much worth keeping an eye on—quite ably abetted by co-writer Megan Neuringer in one of the smartest theatrical shows to grace UCBT this year: Love Can Suck a Dick…and So Can I !

“I've seen about seven or eight one-woman shows during the past season- people playing many characters. Everybody seems to want to tell her story and show the people in it- from Queens, New York to Belfast. One of the best is YOU NEVER KNOW, Leslie Meisel's funny, charming tale of the struggles of a young actress. Meisel, like the very best of actresses, has her emotions just beneath the surface where she can easily tap into them, and her show, which makes us smile or laugh, also moves our emotions. When she plays the other characters- her parents, herself younger, and her best one: a young Italian boy bartender-- there is total immersion into them, their accents, their attitudes; she's also a fine singer and illustrates her tales with songs. She is bright, an insightful writer, funny, good-looking, charming, and a terrific actress/comedian who can really move you. Other than that she's got nothing going for her.” “You Never Know” - One person show
