💗💗About Leanne💗💗
After discovering her passion for stand-up comedy later in life and finding the time and confidence to pursue her dream, Leanne Morgan has cemented herself as a must-watch comedian.
Leanne was feeling the lure of Hollywood after graduating high school, yet the idea of moving there was unheard of and too daunting for a country girl who had never been away from home. She enrolled in college at The University of Tennessee, where she graduated (by the skin of her teeth) with a degree in Child and Family Studies.
Shortly after, she married her husband, Chuck, and they moved to Bean Station, Tennessee located in the beautiful foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.
To stay busy after having her first baby, Morgan started selling jewelry at home parties. She was supposed to talk about the jewelry but instead conversed about breastfeeding, hemorrhoids and being a mama. The party guests thought that she was hilarious, and before she knew it, she was booked a year in-advance.
The jewelry company saw what was happening and asked her to speak at their sales rallies. It was there that women started saying, “you need to do stand-up!” That gave Morgan the courage to really go for it! She finally had access to comedy clubs when her family moved to San Antonio in 2001, and her career in comedy quickly officially got underway.
Morgan’s comedy has landed her at the prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal and has brought her development deals for her own sitcom with ABC and Warner Brothers, writer/producer Matt Williams (Rosanne and Home Improvement), TV Land and with Sony Television.
Morgan has garnered over 2.5M followers across social media and her popular online stand-up special, So Yummy, has reached over 50M views on UA-cam. Her fan base continues to grow with her relatability as she discusses everything from being a housewife, sharing Jell-O recipes to having a new grandbaby. Morgan has appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, The View, and Nick at Nite’s Funniest Mom.
Now that her children are grown, Morgan is moving full steam ahead with a career rooted in her everyday comedy. In December 2022, she concluded The Big Panty Tour with Outback Presents which spanned 100+ shows in theaters across the U.S. She also taped her first Netflix standup special which premieres on the platform on April 11, 2023. Morgan is back on the road with her next 100+ show Just Getting Started theater and arena tour with Outback Presents. Her first book, What in the World?, is set to be published by Random House/Convergent, in August 2024.
When not on the road, Leanne cherishes spending time in Knoxville, Tennessee with her husband, three children, grandbaby, and two beagles.

LeAnne Morgan is a real comedian, her stories make you feel like you are in the same place as the people she is talking about, She also doesn’t have to be vulgar or use profanity to make a point. She lets you feel like you are there, LeAnne Morgan is the real deal. Thank you Leanne for setting the bar so high for comedians to strive for.
The Dry Bar was why I watched. I am not a prude but I like my comedy clean. Anybody can be funny doing raunchy stuff but you are a genius Leanne .
Agree!
Agreed!
Exactly. Even the raunchy stuff can be funny but I don't need that stuff in my head. I don't need to know about someone else's sex life.
Me too. No need for swearing.
Drybar is where I found Leanne and died laughing and had to share her with all my girlfriends. Love her!!!
She is so fabulous!!!! 😂 I can relate, I’m a woman in my 50’s and there just isn’t anyone else who hits our demographic target 🎯 like she does. Leanne Morgan is so clean, real, genuine, & honest!!! I adore her!!!!
A huge part of Leanne’s genius is her timing and physical comedy, particularly her facial expressions. I can’t think of anyone else who has those both nailed down in quite the same way. She is a NATURAL, and I ADORE her! 🥰 In this crazy world we live in today, we also NEED Leanne. ❤️ Great interview!
sebastian maniscalco is also awesome..Leanne is the best female comedian to me though. love her as a person. She is such an angel
Charles Wilbur 😂love that name
I love her too
So inspiring
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 WOOOOW, loving all her videos. Lots of hugs and kisses from B.C.,CANADA. 😊😊
I usually try to fall asleep with Leanne playing in my ear but I can always tell when her facial/body expressions are the joke🤣😂She’s amazing!!!
ADORE Leanne!!! Best comedian to hit the stage in years! The real thing!!!
100%!
Amen Yes!!
Shes a breath of fresh air
Leanne is hysterical. I started watching her on UA-cam and sharing with my family. I really think knowing that God and family are with you made all the difference.
Two SWEET SWEET people having a convo. So good. Love you Leanne!!! Inspiring - I’m 60.
@Carrie Lassiter Yes! Isn't it refreshing?!!
@@sw9868 so refreshing!!!
I remember Leann from years ago when they would put her on the Knoxville morning radio shows in my hometown and where she currently lives. Now, she is huge! I am so happy for her. I love her comedy. I started watching her comedy when it first showed up on FB reels. She was a genius to market herself that way and that was certainly what made her famous.
Leanne is fantastic. Great comedy without any filth. This woman is from a family full of love and support. She followed her dreams and with faith in herself and commitment to her blessing that God bestowed and now on top of her game. Kudos Leanne and know your future will continue to be bright. Thanks for the laughs. God Bless you and your family.
We love you LeAnne and your comedy. Please don’t ever let anyone change your style.
I LOVE this lady, she makes me laugh out loud every time I see her act! I really would love to see her live one day!!
Great story and I’m so glad you didn’t give up! I started listening to you this past year after being in a car accident that really changed life for me and I couldn’t wait to crawl in bed at night and pull up some of your videos to just laugh and forget the stressors of the day. Your God-given talent has been a gift from God to me.
I saw Leanne when she was in Utah at the drybar, we loved her ! We couldn't stop laughing
LeAnn connects with multiple generations. Heartfelt clean humor. Unique and appreciated. ❤
What a fabulous interview with such a warm sincere friendship & rapour❣️
People love Leanne because she is just plain genuine and a real sweetheart ~ and has so many authentic traits that are so desperately missing in this world right now. Laughing the way she does at herself has helped me take things lightly🙌🏼Please come to Cape Town Leanne…we love you here❤
I am one of those people that saw the Dry Bar bit and loved you immediately. I was part of that wave that set your heart afire! Also a southern girl, just a few years older (and several inches shorter lol) so you are very relatable in your life woven stories! Way to stay with your truth, Leanne💜☮️💜
Me too…Texas gal 🌊💖
Your comedy is so uplifting I’m a Christian and I like how you keep it real
I’m an atheist, I have no family, I live in Sydney and I love Leanne’s humour-with respect to all Texans and Americans it’s very Australian! Xxx ❤️❤️❤️
Leanne I'm so happy you kept going!!!! You are a comic genius!!! God bless you and your family!!! ♥️
My husband and I LOVE Leanne!! Leanne carried us through covid and then we got to see her live! So great and truly sweet!!
I'm 61 and I feel like she's talking about my life and childhood. Thank you so much for the belly laughs!!!! ❤
So glad you didn't quit Leanne. One of the funniest comedians ever!!!! We need to see you in the UK. Such an absolute tonic. 😊
She is genuine and that is why everyone loves her. Can't wait to see her live in September!!! God bless her and her family.
I love Leanne Morgan. She is SO real ! God Bless her 🤗. She always gets me out of my moments of sadness and takes me into pure laughter and Joy 💝
Yep. Saw it happen. Wrote messages all over those clips saying STAY IN THE GAME. I have laughed at her comedy for 10 years. It is ABOUT TIME!!! Hooray!!
LoveLoveLove is what I think of Leanne ... she is real & frickin' hilarious! Her timing is on point & she shows to all who sees her the best qualities one can choose to portray! Leanne is an Endearment Extraordinaire' and I love her shows
she is truly a blessing! if it wasn't for social media i wouldn't have known about you!
I have been blessed to have seen Leanne in concert and she is awesome! Love her!❤
"God would give me these things, even if they didn't make it... And He'd say... 'Just wait, just hold on. I've got something for you.'"
That was a message I didn't know I needed today. Wow. Thank you Lord for speaking to me, and thank you Leanne for letting Him use you to do it.
As a fellow Tennessee gal around your age, thank you for all your stories and the laughs! We love you because we RELATE TO YOU!! ❤
You make me cry, Leanne. I love, love, love your story. I am a mama to five linoleum lizards and I have so often struggled with the tension of the “now and not yet” of raising children and loving it, yet feeling like I’m going to be in a nursing home before they all graduate from high school. Your perseverance inspires me to enjoy this season as much as I can and still take steps toward other dreams in my heart, too. Keep a-goin’, my Friend!
I cannot imagine a world without Leanne's comedy and personality. I just turned 52 and she showed me that it’s not too late for my dreams.
What a lovely interview! You can tell Hallerin and Leanne are longtime friends. Can’t wait to see Miss Leanne perform in Tampa in January 2024! We are so excited!
I love that we got to see your family because we feel like we know them through your stories. Absolutely adore Leanne.❤ Funniest, most down to earth comedian.
Love you Leanne! From a fellow 57 year old who is also just getting started. You are an inspiration to me! Bless you!
Leanne is THE BEST! She is talking about my life too…and I am 76, had 7 babies and 21 grandchildren. I have lost my oldest grandchild in a car accident in 2008 and her daddy, my oldest son in 2019. I discovered Leanne one night on Netflix last April when I could not sleep, which has been most nights in the last 4 years since losing my son. She helps distract me for as long as she is THERE in front of my eyes making me laugh. Even after losing my son, I have been a mother since I was 18 years old so I have experienced so much of what she talks about….and she makes me laugh. Thank you, Leanne…you are special. Keep hanging in there, Girl!
I just love her! I saw her on Dry Comedy years ago... She is awesome....staying positive and promoting faith!!!!! I love that she didnt give up! Thank God!!!🩷 keep going Leann and..I love that she is humble STILL. She doesnt forget WHY she is doing what she is doing!!! God bless her🩷
This girl is a special. She has empathy and loves to bring people together. I loved seeing her family.
I love your story and cry every time I hear it because I feel the same and have dreams I want to pursue now that I’m 60. But often think who the heck’s cares about what I have to say ?
Leanne is our inspiration! She’s the reason we started a podcast in our 50’s!!!!We love you Leanne!!! See you soon!!❤
Leanne, your comedy lights up my brightest days. You’re funny and humane and kind. Thank you!
❤this lady is so funny and down to earth. If someone doesn't like her there is something wrong with them.
Thank you Leanne! So well deserved! Your baby, Charles Wilbur is as cute as can be! ♥️❤️
What an amazing and inspirational interview. There are 3 answers to prayer: Yes, No, and Not yet. Thank God Leanne believed in herself, and allowed the Lord to guide her in His time. If Leanne was my next door neighbor, I would buy her little gifts and gifts for her grandson every day😄!! God bless Leanne and her family always!! Much love and respect from Texas🙏❤.
This lady is so amazing and so funny. Love her so much 💯
Dang, I love this woman! Her comedy is loving, comfortable, and hilarious.
I miss this southern love, so much talent, so much honesty. Keep going, you are golden. ❤
I love love love you are getting your flowers. Good apples like you are needed more in these crazy times!!!
*9:03**...first and foremost being a momma first is why Leanne's humore is so funny and genuine*
I really enjoy her. She is like a breath of fresh air! Keep up the good work Leanne!💞
Sista….you’ve made it girl!!!!!!!
I feel like I know you personally . I can relate to your stories. I raised 2 girls by myself!!! Wow, what a life lesson!!!!
You got what it takes to achieve!!!
Stay real!!!!! I can truly say…I know her and she’s famous!!!
Big hugs
From Oklahoma !!!
First time I saw you was over Mother's Day weekend many years ago in Knoxville at the Comedy Club. For my mother's day gift, I made my two young adult children go with my husband and myself... I bought the tickets! It was great!
That’s exactly how I learned of you and binge watched all the shows I could find. ❤️❤️❤️
Leanne I think you are a comedic genius too! Love to hear your stories!
Two sweet, intelligent, funny people in a room together-delightful! thx!
As a female comedian of age, it is the hardest thing I have ever done. Leanne inspires me to not give up
Shelly belly I love you just like Leanne. You guys are the best. Don’t ever give up on your dreams.
Leanne, you'll never know how much your comedy has done for me! You've picked me up so many times when I've needed it! The Journey concert bit made me laugh so hard I thought I was going to vomit ... WOW: A first for me! And I was so jazzed to meet you in person at the Charlotte, NC, show! It was AWESOME!
I love Leanne and respect her as a wonderful woman with the best comedy I’ve ever enjoyed! Blessings to her and her family!
Leanne Thank you so much for putting a spotlight on a loving family. Your comedy is refreshing & your on inspiration. God Bless!
I love leanne she makes me laugh and I hope I'm so lucky to get to see her in person at one of her shows.
I’m so thankful you hired those 3 young boys because I saw that clip about take Chuck to see Def Leopard. I just rolled. I started searching for you & sharing everything I could. My friends & I use LMisms all the time! Congratulations & you’ve earned it!!
Agree - brilliant story teller & so approachable and dear ✌️🕊
Thank you Leanne! You inspire me to keep moving forward. It’s never too late!
She’s so down to earth and brutally honest. I just love her.
I found Leanne when I happened to see a Short video called Big Panties Tour, and that just 😂😂😂😂😂 cracked me up!!! I listened and she was genuine (Dolly Parton- like integrity and genuine!) and brilliant clean comedy!!!
Girl I've been waiting years for you to hit it big. You have done the work. I never understood how you aren't the biggest comedian out here. You're fabulous I love you ❤ thank you for the laughs 😊❤
Drybar is where I fell in love with Leanne Morgan!
She deserves the world! Such a great talent!❤
Great interview! Thanks Leanne! ❤😂🎉
LeAnn, I share your comedy with my sisters and sister-in-laws, and friends. Your comedy is so relatable. You are a healer of the soul! Thank you!
Dry Bar is where I first found Leanne. So glad I did!! She rocks❤️❤️
Honestly, I don't think Leanne is the type to "pretend" about anything. When you are country, you do talk about family and life. We all have to agree - life is full of comedy! I have watched various clips of her for many years! She is genuine, honest, transparent, and has the true southern hospitality!! She opens her heart and home to her fans as if they are part of her family. That is unique in a world that seems to be anti-family and anti-"goodness". I am proud of her most recent success explosion but we long-time fans know that she has ALWAYS been the REAL DEAL!!!
I could not have said that any better!
3:36 4:41
Real talk,❤
So, if you talk about family and life, does that make you “country?”
I love your comedy and you! You are a true gem, funny, original and someone I relate to! I am glad you stuck with it because the world needs someone as fresh and wonderful and as special as you are!
Wonderful interview! I love Hallerin and I adore Leanne! I’m thrilled to hear there’s a Part II coming from this interview!
Family is important, their support and your support to them. She’s obviously a very sweet genuine person. I’m not religious, something in my life made that impossible to me, but I have no problem with other’s beliefs. I will alway celebrate a women going out there and persevering and succeeding. Lovely funny lady
I watched the Netflix special, and I am in love with Leanne. This is the honest to God truth I had had a tummy tuck and it took me four weeks to finish watching it because I was laughing too hard, and I had to keep shutting it off.
😂 she is by far my favorite comedian I’ve ever seen her context I can so connect with I was a 1980 graduate from high school and I just died laughing at her! Thank you for persevering on behalf of so many people that love you!
I’m so very glad you did Not give up. I absolutely love listening to you! 😘😘
The best line for me is "Your trying to kill me well your not going too, you better get home right now cause I'm going to walk out in the woods and let the animals eat me" !!!!! Priceless!!!! Lmao Rotf
You make me laugh more than anyone has in years.
Leanne is an amazing stand up. The issue earlier was bad managers.
The thing that stood out to me the most - she had always given to others, but once she invested in herself, things started to change. LOVE THAT! ❤
Leanne you rock!
Thank you, LeAnne, for sharing your family with us through the years, and "In Person!" You are blessed to have such a beautiful family! God Bless each one of you!
I love you, girlfriend! Everyone must feel like you're they're your best friend.
You're a special woman, indeed. An angel who keeps us smiling and filled with laughter. From a FAN in East Tennessee, near Farragut.
Leanne is the best! So great to hear her story; she inspires and has something extra for her audience -- character, spirit and wisdom.
As a New Englander? I would say you totally speak to all women, all families. I saw this coming for you a few years ago! Such a gift to the world!
She is so funny! Can't believe it took her so long to be on the platform she deserves!
Thank you!
I’ve been blessed by you both!
Love, love, love Leanne Morgan comedy! No nastiness, just pure clean comedy! She is an amazing person to persevere through the hard times!
She makes me laugh until I cry! Thank you Leanne for the laughter! We all desperately need more of YOU and your hilarious stories!
Sometimes I turn on Leeann’s comedy specials or UA-cam‘s and just play them in loops while I’m doing housework and stuff because I just love listening to her talk.
She just always lifts me up even though I heard it a dozen times. She is a true angel.
I laughed so much ..helped me get through a really rough weekend 🎉❤🙏
Leanne is amazing. She make me laugh outloud.
Can’t wait to see you in SD in October. You are every women and we are PROUD and happy for you!
🥰 You're the real deal, Leanne! Great interview!
Good interview- already someone who will watch anything Leane does--- but going to look into "anything is possible" also 👏👏👏
Love this interview and interviewer, and I've loved Leanne from the first time I heard her on youtube. She's the best.
This is such a sweet and touching story! I find you very inspiring and relatable, and I thank you for the laighs!
I just found Leanne. I am 64 years old. I love her so much because she is clean and sweet and is Christian. I love the way she just tells a story about life. You feel like you are hanging out with a good friend or a favorite aunt or your grand mom just laughing about the crazy stuff in your lives. There is laughing at the dumb stuff we all do and loving warnings and advice. I am so happy good things are happening for her. May God's face always shine upon you dear sister.
I really love this woman and he is just a wonderful man
This man is also a treasure how sweet is he
Absolutely the funniest lady out there. She definitely should have her own show.
