“Lesley Tsina is a talented storyteller and comedian with excellent timing and a commanding presence.“ — Aisle Say Twin Cities

“There is something about the story of Lord of the Files that rings so true, so close to the spinal cord of so many artists and art enthusiasts … it is easy to see why people are flocking to this understated wonder.” — Plank Magazine

Comedian Lesley Tsina worked for a company that made cell phone ringtones. That is, until they announced nine months of layoffs and the entire office descended into savagery. Lord of the Files is a darkly hilarious story about losing your job, losing your mind, and still having to attend an all-company pancake breakfast.

Lesley Tsina is Los Angeles-based writer and comedian. She has appeared on NBC’s Community, ABC’s Black-ish, HBO’s Funny or Die Presents and NPR’s Marketplace. She has performed in sketch, improv and solo shows at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater, the Comedy Central Stage, the CBS Diversity Showcase, SF Sketchfest, and the Minnesota and Vancouver Fringe Festivals. Lesley can be seen in various national commercials, most notably the Geico ad where the camel walks around the office saying “Hump Day.” Favorite shows include “Slave Leia Improv,” “Extreme Tambourine,” and “Tournament of Nerds.” When not performing, Lesley is a Contributing Editor for the comedy magazine The Devastator. She is currently writing a book about Windows 95, which will be released by Devastator Press in August of 2015.
