The comedian talks about quitting her Netflix job when she got her stand-up career up and running. Next month she headlines the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever as part of Netflix Is A Joke Fest.

Pacing the stage, Leslie Liao muses about the various moisturizers she, an almost 37-year-old, feels compelled to use. “I spend most of my time rubbing creams all over my body. … Face cream, eye cream, foot cream, just constantly creaming myself.” She continues; a mic drop about modern dating imminent. “I just learned there is a neck cream.

“Do you think I'm gonna find any exec in Content and try out a bit in the elevator? Do my shtick in the cafeteria?” “Honestly?” she continues. “If I went to any comedy exec at Netflix and told them, ‘You should put me on Netflix, I'm a comic. Did you know?
