A Destined Legend: Leon Rogers!

When you refer to yourself as the “Destined Legend”, self-assurance may be a strong part of your character. That can definitely be said about comedian Leon Rogers. In a very short amount of time the Chicago born funnyman has solidified his spot on the comedy circuit. Rogers began his professional career by competing in the Miller Genuine Draft Comedy search and came in fourth place. Five years later, he returned and won the competition. How’s that for determined? Now, you can listen to Rogers every morning on WGCI’s The Morning Riot show where he offers his unique comedic perspective on everything from sports to celebrity news. Quick witted, you will often find yourself bubbled over your steering wheel from laughing from his jokes. Outside of hosting a hugely popular morning show, Rogers also finds time to perform every Sunday at Jokes & Notes Comedy Club. He keeps a close relationship with budding Chicago artists and you can simply scroll down his Twitter timeline for a quick laugh. Leon Rogers is in good company of Chicago comedians such as Robin Harris and Bernie Mac but it’s easy to see that he is blazing a path truly his own.
