Leo Mahr and Jonny Bennett: Two Hot Gays Telling Jokes

Two Hot Gays Telling Jokes / Free Festival • Semi-professional company

60 minutes•Upstairs
Two incredibly hot (you decide) gay men, one British, one Swiss(ish), cover everything from Kylie to K-holes, Le Creuset to cruising, with some musical comedy to keep things interesting. Leo Mahr is back at the Fringe after a packed-out run of Leo Mahr Is a Seasoned Whore in 2025. Jonny Bennett will be answering important questions musically. Why is LinkedIn so bad? What would country music sound like if it was from the UK? And is your ex-girlfriend’s dad an acceptable sexual awakening? Free poppers for the front row!

Two comics from different backgrounds, one stage and a set that bounces between sharp observational material and musical comedy. Free admission and no two shows quite the same — a low-risk, high-reward hour for fans of confident, personality-driven comedy.
