Leyla Ingalls is a born and raised Ohio comedian known for her decevingly innocent demaner 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 Ohio and Don’t Tell Comedy shows across the country! Leyla has opened for Joe Gatto of impractical jokers, Uncle Lazer of Kill Tony, the one and only Geoffrey Asmus, and has featured for the beloved LeMaire Lee of “Gilly & Keeves.” She has performed on booked shows along side the great Theo Von, Kam Patterson, and Brian Callan. She’s had the pleasure to bring her standup to legendary venues such as the Carpenter Theatre in Richmond, Virginia, the Laugh Factory & Zanies in Chicago, Vulcan gas company comedy club in Austin, Texas and the famous Ice House in L.A. She received the title “rookie of the year” for standup her first year in the game 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.”
