I saw her in a small club in Portland many years ago— and I cried laughing the entire time. I saved my ticket. I knew she would be huge one day. It was a memory I’ll never forget.

Watched Leanne all through the pandemic. She’s the greatest and I’m so happy she has made it!! So deserved

[BonnChnd]

Congratulations on your Netflix special Leanne! You earned all of this!

[cindystepp]

She is the best comedian out there. So funny and you don't have to worry about her using bad language. That's one of the things I love most about her comedy. It's refreshing.

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Her special is hysterical 😄.

I love the way she delivers her jokes. She is so real. She sounds just like a really funny MOM. I love her ❤😊

I LOVED the Netflix special!!!! Leanne is the real deal. Comedy for me has always been about a great story teller rather than “jokes” and I could listen to her stories for hours on end. From one Tennessee gal to another…. You are

[randyseay]

She’s from my home county in Tennessee and I sorta knew her when she was a teenager (she was a student of my teacher friend and already hilarious). But long before that, I rode the school bus as a first grader with her “sweet little mama” and her aunts who were in high school. So proud of her!

Just finished watching her special on netflix. I laughed out loud I don't know how many times!

[PeytonMusic]

I had no idea who Leanne Morgan was five days ago, and now . . . having watched her Netflix special, and just about anything else I can find on the internet with her in it . . . . I don't think I've ever felt so happy to see someone get the success they deserve in my life. It's like watching a sister suddenly shoot to fame after years of trying hard to make it in Hollywood. Although probably a little better, because if I had a sister and she actually shot to fame in Hollywood, I can imagine there might be a little bit of jealousy on my part whereas with Leanne it's just pure, unadulterated, jealousy-free pride and joy that floods my soul on her behalf.

She deserves all success. Been following her comedy for several years, thanks to YouTube.

I always like good, clean, wholesome comedy!

[lynj]

[StonyRC]

Leanne is even known over here in the UK - internet RULES! - her accent, delivery and material are simply perfect!

[angelaklaeser]

Watched the special twice and laughed until I cried both times🤣🤣🤣. Best therapy ever!!!

[INFPinSA]

She’s going going to be MEGA, and I’m here for it. She will have either a sitcom or own talk show or who knows what else, and soon

[debbiejohnston]

Leanne, you are just precious. So glad you pursued your dream!

[annmahoneyleslie]

Oh my goodness! My girlfriend always says she never laughs…but! She watched Leanne Morgan and said she had laughed for an hour and a half. I turned it on right then and Leanne was hysterical! She is “every woman!”❤❤❤

[Blake.Cooper]

Leanne is hysterical! She's been cracking me up for many years!
