Denis Leary Harbors Hope For Next Generation Of Comedians: “You Think You’ve Seen Everything & Then You See Someone Else Coming Who Makes You Laugh Your Ass Off”


Denis Leary has talked Fox's 'Going Dutch' and the next generation of young comedians at the London TV Screenings.

In the early 1990s, Denis Leary hit the comedy circuit with a bang with his No Cure for Cancer routine, which touched on themes around smoking, drug use and political correctness. Leary points to the way in which “edgy” comedy greats one generation below him like Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle smashed barriers, but he is also enthused by younger comedians such as Daily Show performer Ronny Chieng. Leary harked back to his early days at Edinburgh when he became pals with young British up-and-comers like Frank Skinner, David Baddiel and Eddie Izzard, and he is still friends with the trio today.
