Her comic alter ego "Berger, the Berger with Everything" has packed comedy clubs throughout the Los Angeles and Orange County area. In addition, she has produced comedy benefit events for various non-profit charities, schools and church groups.
When she's not in front of, or behind, the camera, planning and coordinating events, producing fund raisers for nonprofit organizations, Leslie enjoys spending time attending jazz and R and B concerts, plays, musicals, and traveling the world.
