No one is so authentically funny as you Leanne! Love your stories!

[Rut-viiz]

Finally middle age women are being seen and heard. Thank you.❤

[kittensugars]

She's a treasure. I love how she expresses how important it is to RAISE ONE'S CHILDREN.

Just when you think you couldn’t love this woman more…❤

Just saw her - it was fabulous!! Small theater (1, 600 seats) but she sold out two back to back shows per night (3, 200 tickets) at the Capital One Ctr. in Northern Virginia. Bought tickets 4-5 months in advance and couldn’t wait to go. My husband and I had a really nice time and I can’t even begin to tell you how much we enjoyed the crowd!!!……we’d never been to an event with that many normal people in our lives and it was beyond comforting. No standing in line with drunk people, nobody smoking something stinky 2 feet away from you, no foul language being said loud & proud, no blaring offensive music, no hookers looking to make a buck, just normal adults conducting themselves respectfully and being polite to one another as we all made a mad dash to our cars so we could be home by 9:30pm. LOL

I so appreciate you Leanne, you have no idea - Thank You, Thank You so much!!

Hugs & Squeezes

Positive, kind and seeing the best in people is what we need in the famous and successful! What a humble and sweet woman and age and God gives you wisdom!

[elizabethmiddleton]

This is a fabulous interviewer. She is sharp in her listening and leads the “precious” Leanne into telling her story without interrupting and trying to be the show instead of letting us enjoy the person we came to see. That is a true talent. Thank you!!!! Abby is it? I’m a fan!

[rosabanankhah]

You are God's gift to me. I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and your comedy lifted me up in my low times. THANK YOU. I am 65 years old, and this stage of life for me is hard, but when I watch your videos I am thankful to my Lord for seeing me through the darkness. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY, AND MAY YOUR COMEDY TOUR RUN FOREVER!!!!

[karenhogan]

I just love this woman. She is an inspiration to all women she tells it like it is. And most of all she makes me laugh out loud and Lord knows we all need that.♥️

[undertheumbels]

She is a national treasure. I adore her.

[SunnyVonB]

Leanne is so talented, hilarious and authentic, I’m so glad she persevered. Her story is inspiring ✨

[susanboehm]

I love Leanne Morgan and want to go to every one of her shows and watch every single thing she shares with us online. She is hilarious but kind, persistent, believes in God, has been married to the same husband all these years, does not need to swear to get a laugh, and she thinks her children, grandchildren, and dogs are yummy. She has worked hard and deserves to finally be in the hearts and souls of her millions of fans. I also want to say thank you to Abby Ham. You did an excellent job of interviewing Leanne. You made it about Leanne and not you. You asked open-ended questions and you did not interject inane questions just to bring the focus back to you. You let Leanne talk and in doing so, the limelight came back to you too as a great interviewer and listener. Thank you both.

She's a natural at making people laugh...no cursing needed, just clean comedy gold😊

[createful_heart]

Leanne is so charming! I could listen to her stories all day.

[robinedwards]

I'm a mid-40's woman, generation X, super far left politically, queer, single mom in Portland, Oregon. Leanne is not the type of comedy I should like based on my demographic. But I can't get enough of her. And I also love a big, thick, cotton brief. ☺

[elletuppen]

Love that Leanne’s turning point and light bulb moment is her friend peeing on the couch with laughter at her humour😂 she is such a rock star for us all❤

[katlyonskoornick]

She's creating an empire. So happy for her. She's talented and deserves it.

[Jdoreme_fit]

I love this for her! God doesn’t give the vision without the provision 🙏🏾🙌🏽

[andreafield]

She is so down to earth-just a breath of fresh air! What a great interview.

[SparkyTuttle]

She's 52 they said. Had they had a brain, they would have known she's a perfect age. ALL WOMEN who have had babies, and all men who have been through all the trials women go through, kids, grandparents...ALL OF US LOVE HER. She's hysterical. ❤😂❤😂❤
