💗💗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 YouTube. 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.

My wife has been so ill, for so long now…………..and the ONLY thing that can get her laughing is Leanne. Thank you Leanne. We have followed you for years now and you have no idea how much it means to me to see genuine laughter on my wife’s face. You have a gift that extends way beyond stand up. Thank you for sharing that gift. 👏👏

Bought your book and read the whole thing in one day. Loved it so much.

My BFF surprised me with your book and I had to refrain from squealing with excitement in the restaurant. I enjoyed every page!! I can totally see that you wrote the book with your heart and soul. The funny thing is that your Chuck Morgan is almost a clone of my husband! Extremely reliable, trustworthy, pays cash for everything or we don’t get it, has to be the one who makes the decisions, is always asking me if I really need that new purse or something. Ha! In other words, no fun at all 😂 but he’s my rock and I love him. He needs to be needed and worries from time to time that I don’t need him (Insecurity). I could go on about our life similarities, but you get my point. I so loved and appreciate you writing this book because it helped me realize there are other women who have similar experiences to me. BTW, your daughter looks like your clone…soooo beautiful and kind. God Bless You Leanne 💞

I grew up on a crop farm. We started working at a young age. We were busy people. My brothers worked the fields and my sister and I cleaned the house, scrubbed and waxed the floors on our hands and knees. For excitement, my sister and I would move the furniture around for a different look. :) The two of us cooked and my sister ironed the sheets. We were poor with 9 children, 7 boys and 2 girls. My mom worked out when I turned 5 and my dad had a full time job outside of the farm. I remember not always having enough food to eat, but we managed and got through it. We did have some beef cattle and often had enough meat. I remember wrapping the meat and putting it in the freezer. The washer and dryer never worked so we went to the laundry mat every other week. Almost all of us borrowed money from the bank to go to college. All of us had good jobs including good health insurance. :) I give my parents so much credit for hanging in there with us.

Leanne you are a beautiful soul inside and out, not many beauties are as genuine as you are and that's what stands out about you when anyone meets you. All the best with the book, you'll be on the bestsellers list no doubt before long. I know you're looking across at that smart beautiful young woman with you and when she's talking you're saying to yourself " I made her", you sure did and you made her right, so you are a great mother and one of the best stand up comedians in the world. Can't wait for all the grandchildren to come along and we get to hear about all the antics you get up to with them. All the best for the future, you deserve it all. 😘🤩

I really enjoyed your story Leanne. I hope you write another one

[danapratola]

God gave me the dream to write. I have 14 published novels now and I wasn't first published until I was 47. It really is never too late!

[darburing]

God bless you and your family, Leanne. You're hilarious, and I love your sense of humor!!!! 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅❤

[laurieg]

[pattyjones]

You always make me laugh!! Love love you Leanne!

[thelazyj]

I LOVE me some Leanne Morgan! She’s cool, she’s relatable, she’s authentic, and so so funny!

[lindawest]

I live on a fixed income and don’t buy many things that aren’t necessary, but the next thing I buy for myself is going to be your book! I can’t wait to read it, I know it is great, because you are such a great comedian and I’m just in stitches every time I watch you on YouTube! You are so hilarious and the stories hit home because I raised three little boys who are all grown men now and have good lives! My oldest son is divorced and when my apartment rent went up so much, he just moved me into his home and I’m back to being a mom that is still taking care of my son! I’m so glad I found you and everytime I see your name I go to it to watch you again! God bless you for making this old woman laugh about things that are so true!

So much fun…love it…..born as military brat, dragged around the world as a kid…and the whole world around Tennessee was a mystery and she has really had me research the homes and real estate. Nice op

[annerohrbacker]

Leanne, you are an amazing role model and I’m so happy to be in this world with you! 💚💚💚

[RedHeadOnTheRanch]

Leanne, you're so sweet, funny and relatable.
I love that you give God the glory.
May you continue to be greatly blessed.

[lindacaul]

Just finished your beautiful book Leanne, and I have to say reading it, I could hear your voice as if you were right in my kitchen having a cup of coffee together! God Bless you and yours and may you keep sharing your stories and make us all laugh.
