Welcome
Welcome…my name is Leo. I am a quadriplegic, a father, a husband, an artist, an actor, a comedian, a filmmaker and someone who really loves the soundtrack to Footloose. I’m currently trying to discover myself. Whatever that means. I think we all are. If you would like to collaborate, chat or make the world a more loving, hospitable place, please reach out.
Testimonials
“Leo consistently delivers as one of North Carolina’s funniest comics.”
“Simply enjoyable. Leo Hodson is a stellar stand up comedian who can bring the big laughs. He wins over crowds with his original wit and strong delivery.”
“Leo Hodson doesn’t rely on his disability for all of his material, but he also isn’t afraid to make light of it in a thoughtful way that makes me laugh every single time I see him perform. I also see new material from him every time I see him. What takes many comics years to achieve, Hodson has done. He is the same person on stage that he is offstage. Funny, lovable and warm.”
“It’s hilarious. (in reference to Wheel Crime)”
“[I] enjoyed everything about it but especially [his] acting!! (In reference to Wheel Crime) ”
“
Leo Hodson grew up in a small city in NC home to the world’s largest habitat zoo. But you won’t mistake his performance for a small town feel. He has performed across the country (NYC, ATL, DEN) in various venues to thousands at a time.
He brings a unique perspective and incisive wit to his craft. With a concrete understanding of timing, Leo delivers a memorable performance that leaves audiences laughing, thinking and cheerful.

About Me
MY NAME IS LEO
Welcome. This site was originally created after I suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury. Initially, all I could do was blink…..I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t speak, couldn’t move anything below my neck…..For 22 years I walked and then….everything changed. I wouldn’t be where I’m at without the people in my life who have supported me, who’ve helped guide me to where I’m at and where I’m going. I am an award winning comedian, a writer, an actor, a doodler, a quadriplegic, a husband, a father, a filmmaker, a dancer and whatever fictional character my children wish for their fancy. Please reach out and check out my work. I’ve been fortunate enough to perform alongside some of the industries funniest entertainers such as Drew Michael, Emo Phillips, Myq Kaplin, Sara Schaefer, Sean Patton, Ryan Singer and more.
