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.
We laughed all of our makeup off!! Leanne is a hilarious storyteller who seems like she could also be your best friend. Her unique wife and mother stories really hit home with so many of us, and nothing is more fun than to laugh out loud with your girl friends!
Fantastic show with Leanne and her opening act. Worth every penny!
I have never laughed for 2 hours straight before! Awesome show with good, clean jokes.
As Leanne said, writing life's next chapter shouldn't be limited by age. She stands as an example of what can be accomplished by any woman with a wealth of life experience, an eye for the absurd and a willingness to take a chance. The Sunday show at Township in Columbia, SC met our expectations with an hour of bell laughs from a wife and mother served with pure Southern sensibility. Like many standup comics, Leanne mines her family for much of the humor which seems more universal than I think she's given credit. The audience was largely like her, but the stories and circumstances are as applicable to a broader demographics. When it was over, I wondered what Chuck truly thinks about his wife's career, though it sounds as if he's one of her greatest cheerleaders. That's what supportive spouses offer in these circumstances, so I look forward to the next chapter in Leanne's life -- the standup specials, TV series and the movie. Guessing her next appearance in Columbia will require a larger venue once the world latches onto her bold humor.
Leanne Morgan had us laughing from the time she walked onto the stage! An hour and a half of continuous story telling that left us all in tears from laughing so hard! Our seats at the Township auditorium were excellent. I would see her again and again!!
Leanne Morgan did not disappoint! She was funny, engaging and we had the best nighr!
Best decision ever to get seats as close as possible to stage. Totally different experience than balcony seats in Charleston three years ago. Leanne’s comedy is heavy on facial expressions, so I knew I wanted close seats this time. Totally worth the price! Would love to see her team up with Nate Bargatze!
Leanne was so entertaining!!!! Loved every minute of her show.
LeAnne Morgan was hilarious and this show is so fun. The best night of entertainment in a long time. She is so yummy! Karen Mills was awesome too. If you want to laugh for 2 hours n have a ball. Get your tickets to tickets to LeAnne Morgan. I laughed until tears came.
Great show ! The opening comedian (Forgive me for forgetting her name) was just as funny.
