biography
After 22 years in comedy, she has cemented herself as a must-watch comedian. She is back on the road with her 100+ show Just Getting Started tour with Outback Presents. She recently starred in Prime Video wedding comedy YOU'RE CORDIALLY INVITED (January 2025) opposite Will Ferrell & Reese Witherspoon. She will make her TV acting debut in Netflix sitcom LEANNE, EP’d by top comedy showrunner Chuck Lorre. Netflix also picked up two more stand-up specials from her following the success of her first, LEANNE MORGAN: I’M EVERY WOMAN (2023) that amassed more than 2.6 million viewers in only 6 days (making it the 6th most-watched Netflix special in 2023). Her memoir WHAT IN THE WORLD?! debuted September 2024. She was named in Forbes' 50 Over 50 list for 2023
It started at a home jewelry party, where 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 so hilarious to the point somebody peed on a couch. Before she knew it, Leanne started touring the country as a stand-up comedian and her popular special SO YUMMY surpassed 50 million views on YouTube
She has garnered over 2 million followers across social media
Her 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
She and her husband share 3 kids (and a darling grand baby!) and reside in Knoxville, Tennessee
