THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

Comedian Leanne Morgan rose to prominence with her debut Netflix special I’m Every Woman, showcasing her relatable humor and Southern charm. With a career spanning 25 years, she has built a devoted following that continues to grow.

During the first six months of her Just Getting Started tour, Morgan sold over 100,000 tickets at prestigious venues such as the Chicago Theatre and the Knoxville Civic Coliseum in her native Tennessee. Her transition from intimate comedy clubs to larger arenas came after the resounding success of her special, affirming her status as a comedic powerhouse.

Hailing from rural Tennessee, Morgan's comedic style resonates with audiences of all backgrounds, as she effortlessly weaves together humorous anecdotes about family life and everyday absurdities. Her ability to find humor in the mundane has endeared her to fans across the globe.

Leanne's debut book, What in the World?, released in September and published by Random House/Convergent, quickly became a New York Times Best Seller. Fans can enjoy her signature blend of humor and warmth that has made her work so beloved.

In a significant career milestone, Morgan fulfilled a lifelong dream of starring in her own sitcom alongside acclaimed producer Chuck Lorre for Netflix, a collaboration that further solidified her place in the entertainment industry.

Recognized as one of Variety's Top 10 Comics to Watch for 2023, Morgan continues to expand her horizons, with an upcoming role in the Amazon Prime feature You’re Cordially Invited, where she'll share the screen with Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon.

Despite her busy schedule, Morgan remains grounded, cherishing precious moments with her husband, three children, grandbaby, and beloved beagle in Knoxville, TN.
