Luenell is the "Original Bad Girl of Comedy." She may be small in stature, but she more than makes up for it with her big personality, booming voice and infectious laughter. Born in Tollette, Arkansas and raised in Oakland, Calif., Luenell, has been thrilling audiences with her brand of comedy for more than 30 years.."
She is one of the most sought-after and in-demand female comics on the scene. She's currently headlining a residency in Las Vegas at Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club, located at the LINQ Promenade on the Vegas strip! Also, look for Luenell's Netflix comedy special, titled, "Town Business," executive produced by .THE. DAVE. CHAPPELLE and directed by THE. STAN LATHAN!
With the touch of a remote control, her body of work in television and film can be found on network and cable television as well as popular streaming services. The 2006 hit mockumentary-styled comedy film "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan" was Luenell's breakout role that introduced her to mainstream audiences around the world. Ironically, in the Oscar-nominated film, she portrays a prostitute, named Luenell, with a heart of gold. And in the end -- just like Julia Roberts's character in "Pretty Woman" -- Luenell gets the guy! Currently, Luenell is a part of the cast of the new comedy on Paramount + called CRUTCH, starring Tracy Morgan, which is a spinoff of THE NEIGHBORHOOD on CBS. In addition, look for Luenell as the voice of Milly in the Universal/Dreamwork's family animated hit movie, DOG MAN, one of the top-grossing films in 2025!! Other credits on the big screen include two Eddie Murphy movies - that is, the "Coming 2 America" sequel and "Dolemite Is My Name," "A Star is Born," "Spring Breakdown," "All About Steve," "Think Like a Man," "Think Like a Man Too" and "Taken 2."
On the small screen, Luenell can be seen in "Hacks," "The Last O.G.," "The Middle," "Always Sunny in Philadelphia," "Headcase," "Chocolate News," "The Tony Rock Project" and "Californication" - just to name a few. Plus, Luenell is featured in the docuseries "Phat Tuesdays," on Amazon Prime Video, which celebrates "Phat Tuesdays" at The Comedy Store, the influential comedy showcase that helped launch the careers of some of the most famous Black comedians in the industry today.

She showed up intoxicated and kept on drinking. There were some funny moments in between
I totally enjoyed the show. From the moment Luenell took the stage I never stopped laughing. I highly recommend her show for locals or tourists. The theater staff was helpful and friendly A few tips: *Make sure to arrive early to allow for parking and then walking through the casino and promenade. *Also, there aren’t bathrooms in the venue so keep that in mind. *Spring for the reserved seats. It’s a small venue but the reserved seats have plenty of legroom. The general seating area is traditional showroom table seating and first dime first serve. Have fun!
We laughed from the moment we sat down in our seats until we left the venue
Luenell and her opening act were amazing. Luenell literally had me in tears. She was funny asf. It was like sitting talking to your favorite funny auntie. The only drawback of the evening was the general admission seating which was bar type stools. They were all at the same height, so if you were short, chances are you couldn’t see the show because of people in front of you. Also, for some people a bar stool could be a challenging type of seat. Also the bathroom for the venue was not conveniently located. It was downstairs and outside 2 doors down.
I’m a fan of hers, but this show was very lackluster. Because of seating couldn’t even physically see her perform and there were loud hecklers near me responding to everything she said without any interference. Her set also felt drawn out. I left after 90 mins. Wouldn’t do it again honestly.
Luenell was/is truly hilarious. This is the second time I have seen her first in NYC and recently in Vegas. She is just as funny as the first time. Sidebar: She is very very raunchy for some people so if that’s not your style press on. I can’t wait to see her again. If want to go to a comedy show she would be the first comedian I would suggest.
Her show is so funny. We laughed so hard. She has a great stage presence and knows how to keep it raw and real! I loved it.
Luenell was great! My wife and I enjoyed her show. When I found out Luenell was in town I had to go see her. And her opening act Skillz Hudson was great too!! All in all a great show
Great show she was great. The only thing is the venue didn’t have a restroom you had to walk out of the venue and down a couple building to get to it. If it had a restroom it would have been perfect.
Luenell is funny and down to earth! She tells stories about growing up and her new life in Vegas! I laughed till I cried!
Luenell, did a good job. Her overall performance was good. I wish that the opening act was a local.
Luenell gave a great show. I would definitely recommend seeing her show.
I thought Luenell was authentic, funny and insightful!!! Great show!!
Funny as always! Relaxed atmosphere. Only con was the seats were packed together like sardines..but lunell was great.
A great show Ms. Ms. Lunell put on a beautiful performance
Luenell was worth every penny. So raw and honest. She looked good, allowed us to as her anything. Very down to earth. I’ll catch her every time.
Let me tell you she went about 1.5 hours and even took questions from the audience. It was a funny show and finesse was good too. I recommend if you thinking then go,yo I won’t be sorry.
Great show! Had me laughing non stop from the beginning. Will go again when she’s back in Detroit.
Luenell was great. But the seats were horrible. They were not comfortable at all. I wouldn't go back to the Regent theater again
The show was excellent from the opening act to the wonderful headliner Luenell was outstanding! I highly recommend the venue - It was easy to get to from other hotels on the strip. The service and drinks was excellent!
