Leslie returns for a long-anticipated three-week run at The Palm Cabaret and Bar on Sunday, Jan. 4th at 7:00 p.m. in his all new show ‘Say Cheese! My Life In Front Of The Camera’, which humorously examines his life in front of the camera; more specifically, his relationship with the camera of good friend and professional photographer Jim Cox. Cox’s photos of Leslie and friends are featured prominently, as the show’s subject matter.
