Leanne Morgan on Tour
A seasoned comedian with a uniquely Southern charm, Leanne Morgan tells stories that are as relatable as they are hilarious. It's no wonder audiences across America have connected so strongly to her funny, warmhearted and sometimes outrageous tales about juggling the demands of career and family, getting older, joining Weight Watchers for the seventh time and generally doing her best to raise her kids without going crazy.
Raised in rural Appalachia, Morgan was a stay-at-home wife and mother of three who caught the comedy bug while trying to entertain customers for her short-lived jewelry business. After honing her skills as an MC for events near her home in Tennessee, Morgan became one of the brightest new talents on the comedy scene thanks to appearances at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival, a finalist spot for the Nick at Nite TV competition show The Search for the Funniest Mom in America and her performances with Southern Fried Chicks, the hugely successful all-female comedy tour.
Morgan has shared her homespun, family-friendly brand of comedy on Dr. Phil and The View. When not performing stand-up in venues all over the country both as a solo act and with Trish Suhr and Karen Mills on the Country Cool Comedy show, she's collaborating with Home Improvement writer-producer Matt Williams on a forthcoming sitcom of her own.
Who is Leanne Morgan?
Leanne Morgan's frank, funny and relatable comedy style is deeply rooted in her experiences growing up in rural Appalachia and being a wife and mother in her own bustling family in Tennessee and Texas.
After attending the University of Tennessee and becoming a mom, Morgan discovered a love of performing when she started a part-time jewelry business and realized she liked entertaining the customers best of all. With her lively, engaging wit, she soon found enthusiastic audiences beyond her community. Appearances at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival and The View led to a breakout spot as a finalist on Nick at Nite's The Search for the Funniest Mom in America.
Morgan's three years with the top-grossing comedy tour Southern Fried Chicks and her many live and TV appearances with celebrity chef Paula Deen further increased her following nationwide. Appearing in venues across America, she continues to delight audiences with her tales of career, marriage and motherhood both as a stand-up solo performer and alongside Trish Suhr and Karen Mills on the Country Cool Comedy show.
Her and her opening act or both hilarious. It’s just what my daughter and I needed, a night full of endless laughter. Don’t miss this show! Hint…Leave your husband at home!
Leanne was great but the venue was terrible.. Paid for parking but no parking place available! Got there during opening and so dark.. trying to go upstairs and find row we were on. Seat layout wasn’t angled enough and couldn’t see because of the heads in row in front of us.
It was wonderful. Beginning to end. Seats were a little small, but not too bad. Seats were easy to find. The show was Excellent. Funny funny funny. Had a blast. Hope to see her live again. Had a great experience overall.
Girlfriend needs a larger venue. Thanks for coming to Texas!
I had wanted to see Leanne for a while and finally had a chance, she was worth the wait....funny and so relatable. her material was fresh and current and had us laughing the entire time. Her opener Karen Mills was also funny and a nice addition to the show....all in all they were great. The negative was the venue...OUTDATED and in need of major upgrades.
Loved every minute of it - worth the money! Great time away with the girls. Leanne is so relatable to wives, mothers, and women in general.
Leanne Morgan is a gem, we laughed the whole time. Her timing was impeccable and she is a great storyteller.
She is hilarious and her material is so relatable! Love her!!
Leanne Morgan and her introductory act, Karen Mills, were fabulous. Your face will hurt when you leave from laughing so hard. No bad words; well, maybe "butt."Clean and funny show. Will Rogers Auditorium did not have a good process for getting people quickly to their seats. First of all, they have to look into (and riffle through) your purse. Then you spread eagle, and they wand you. Then you turn around and they wand your from behind. THEN you move to the next person, and they scan your ticket's bar code. Multiply this process by 2800 (capacity), and the show cannot start on time. They started letting us in at 6:30 for a 7:00 show. Our show didn't start until 7:15, and the auditorium was only 2/3 full. It was very distracting for the other third to troop down the aisles and make people stand up so they could get to their seats. My friend went the night before, and their show did not start until 7:40. Show was fantastic, but Will Rogers was not. Find a new venue for the next show.
Leann Morgan was great, venue sucked. Will Rogers Auditorium in Fort Worth is a terrible place to see a show. I have been to two shows there. No lighting for steps, no handrails, seating poorly marked, no one to assist with seating. The place is just old.
