SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE's Leslie Jones will appear at Comedy Works South at the Landmark, March 24 - 26, 2016.

It was just last year that Leslie was hired by SNL as a writer but quickly made a name for herself after a memorable on-air appearance during the late-night sketch show's "Weekend Update" segment. Upon returning last fall for the show's fortieth season, she found herself promoted to the cast as a featured player.

Most recently, Leslie finished shooting one of the four lead roles in Paul Feig's all-female Ghostbusters reboot, starring alongside Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon. Later this year, Leslie will be seen appearing in Jared Hess' film Masterminds opposite Zach Galifianakis and Owen Wilson. She is also voicing an animated character in the studio feature Lunch, for Illumination Entertainment. Leslie performs her wild and crazy stand-up for comedy clubs and television audiences with appearances on Showtime at the Apollo, BET's Comicview, and the international TV show Comedy Factor. Leslie was last seen in Judd Apatow's Trainwreck, as well as, Chris Rock's feature Top Five for Paramount.

Currently, The New Yorker magazine is working on a featured profile on Leslie. The last SNL cast member The New Yorker did this with was Tina Fey in 2003.
