Leyla Ingalls is a born and raised Ohio comedian known for her deceivingly innocent demeanor paired with clever joke writing and absurdist stances. She’s been taking the country by storm. Bringing with her to every city a horrific disease, spreading it like a wildfire, no one is safe. What monstrosity does she possess you ask? A serious case of the giggles.
She’s a regular at The Attic comedy club in Columbus, FunnyBone comedy club in Dayton and Don’t Tell Comedy shows across the midwest. Leyla has opened for Joe Gatto of impractical jokers, Uncle Lazer, Damon Darling and has performed at legendary venues such as the Carpenter Theatre in Richmond, Virginia, the historic Sidney Theatre in Sidney, Ohio, and the widely known Sunset Strip comedy club in Austin, Texas. She received the title “rookie of the year” for standup by Columbus Underground in 2023 and has received other titles such as “roast champion” and “top dog comedy competition champion”.
After performing on the hit podcast Kill Tony, Leyla has amassed a following on her socials leading to millions of views. Her wholesome grin as she delivers not-so-wholesome jokes is sure to leave anyone intrigued, or as stated by Leyla’s biggest comedy inspiration, professional boxer Muhammad Ali, “float like a butterfly, zing like a bee.” She reports “I think he said that… I don’t know, I don’t watch baseball.”
