Overview

I am a comedian that specializes in clean comedy which has allowed me to perform all over the country at gala’s, banquets, conventions, concerts, parties and church events.

Les Long is in a class by himself when it comes to comedy. Growing up in the church along with venturing down the back streets of life, Les shares his vision of the world with thought provoking, unpredictable, jaw dropping stories that will stick with you forever. Long has built a career that includes film, radio television and more. Laughter is like medicine and “You Know More When You Know Les”.

Les Long is Awesome!

Les Long performed at my mother's 80th Birthday Celebration on 3/18. He had everyone, from 8 to 80+ laughing. Not only is he a talented clean comedian, he is also a gifted storyteller. We've heard nothing but wonderful comments from the attendees. He could barely leave after the performance with so many people wanting to talk with him or ask for autographs. I would definitely book him again.

AMAZING-EXCELLENT-HILARIOUS

Mr. Long was outstanding from the time he entered the room until he made his exit, the room was filled with laughter. He really completed my parents 60th wedding anniversary celebration "the icing on the cake" . I am highly recommending him if you are looking for a real comedian!!!

Hilarious

Mr Long was entertaining and offered audiences laughs from the beginning to the end of the set. He never used audience members to be his joke but left them reflecting on church practices. I would highly recommend him.

About

Les Long is in a class by himself when it comes to comedy. Growing up in the church along with venturing down the back streets of life, Les shares his vision of the world with thought provoking, unpredictable, jaw dropping stories that will stick with you forever. Long has built a career that includes film, radio television and more. Laughter is like medicine and “You Know More When You Know Les”.

Long, producer and on-air personality of the long-running cable TV program “The Les Long Show” (Time Warner, Sudden Link) and “The Les Long Radio Show “(Power WPWZ 95.5FM ) Les has been lauded for his clean, unpredictable and situational humor. Among his most notable routines are “You Might Be a Raggedy Christian …” and “A Fool for the Lord.” In addition to starring in movies such as Gospel Good, Gospel Bad, Gospel Ugly produced by J. Anthony Brown of the Tom Joyner Morning Show, Steve Harvey Hoodie Awards, churches, national conventions, conferences, television appearances and political events, Long has been the featured talent at numerous historically black colleges and universities ( Coke Cola Tour ), and he has shared the stage with likes of J.

“I like to think of myself as a country comedian,” says the Louisburg, N.C., native “I was always the jokester in the family, the one who kept everybody in tears. I guess I was destined to become a comedian. As my fans know, I love entertaining families, which means I learned how to be funny without being vulgar.”
