Like a lot of comedians, Leo Reich works out the kinks in his stand-up routines by pacing the floor and talking to himself.<\/p>\n

During the pandemic, that process reached a fever pitch.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s where a lot of the angst in the show was from,\u201d he said about \u201cLeo Reich: Literally Who Cares?!,\u201d his Gen Z lampoon<\/a> now streaming on Max, \u201cthe fact that I was at home in the childhood bedroom where I\u2019d always lived with all of my old posters on the wall, just furious about the state of affairs that I was finding myself in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under that strain, what began as a confessional, rather traditional set eventually morphed, he recalled in a video call from London, into a kind of self-parody \u201cof the worst excesses of my own personality.\u201d During the new set, Reich, 25, flop-sweats across the stage in short shorts and black eye makeup.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so funny having done a show that tries to send up on some level that whole idea of the fetishization of young talent,\u201d he said, before elaborating on snobbery, eating animals and the freedom of humiliation, \u201cand then essentially become what I was trying to lovingly criticize.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
