Comic Leanne Morgan is an insistently Southern performer, a rare grandma working stand-up. She is 57 and never lets audiences forget. She found her lane, and grabbed it — even if it took two decades for her to blow up.
. Leanne’s special on Dry Bar, a clean-comedy channel based in Provo, Utah, has been viewed more than 4.7 million times; Karen’s more than 2.7 million times.
Leanne long wanted to be famous. Her first taste of stand-up was selling jewelry to women in their living rooms, like Tupperware but for bling. She realized how funny she was — honestly, this is a tale she shares often, even on the “Today” show — while she was hawking baubles. One woman laughed so hard that she wet her pants. Also, the sofa.
With apologies to male comedians their age, whining constantly about wokeness, anti-wokeness and other third-rail matters, that’s not where this audience lives. Like most country music performers, these Southern ladies don’t wish to offend their precious darlings. Instead, their humor Their humor tilts toward gentle. It’s deeply “bless her heart” and the many nuanced deployments of that phrase.In addition to the Netflix special, Leanne scored her first movie role as the older sister of fellow Tennessean Reese Witherspoon in the double-booked, destination-wedding comedy
