Leslie Norris is an American comedian.
She started in comedy almost as an accident. The former beauty pageant queen was actively pursuing a singing and acting career when comedy "chose" her. After being named first runner-up in both the Miss Georgia and Miss Florida contests, Norris went to work for Disney. A native of Florida, Norris sang in various Disney Productions before moving to Los Angeles. It was here that her career took off.
Norris accepted several roles in national television shows as well but her humorous stories from her pageant experiences started her career.
In 1992 she was awarded the prestigious honor of becoming a Grand Finalist on Star Search. Norris has performed at major concert venues and corporate events and her TV credits include HBO, A&E, Lifetime, Fox and Showtime. She has also worked for Shell, Mattel, Mobile, and Pepsi.
