Who is Natasha Leggero? Comedian tops off her shirt in viral video, stirs social media frenzy

Comedian and actress Natasha Leggero has sent the internet into a meltdown with her recent topless skit. During her set on Skyler Stone’s Comedy Rocks on January 17 at LA's Hollywood Improv, the 49-year-old called out the double standards women face.

As comedian Bert Kreischer, who performed before Natasha, finished his set and introduced her to the stage, she walked up there with Dr. Dre's "Still D.R.E" playing in the background. Natasha, wearing a furry white coat over denim overalls with a white shirt underneath, started grooving to the music.

Without delivering a single word, she ditched her coat, which the crowd initially thought to be a strip tease. However, the comedian then went on to undo the suspenders of her overalls and ditched her top, sending the audience in a loud feat of loud cheers and claps. In the video of the instance obtained by TMZ, Bert could be heard bursting out in laughter as he said:

"Holy sh*t!"

Before taking the mic, Natasha Leggero put on her furry coat but remained topless underneath. She said to the crowd:

"If the boys can do it, why can’t the girls?"

She then proceeded with her jokes without mentioning the topless moment. Bert on the other hand, said that he would start taking off his bottoms from his next stand-up skits to surpass Natasha.
