Leanne Morgan’s “I’m Every Woman” special, which appeared in 2003, showed audiences her signature mix of Southern charm and humor that everyone can relate to. Since its debut, the program has become the most-watched special by a female comedian and proved to be the breakout Morgan needed after over 25 years in the business.
Morgan’s comfort in front of a camera translated easily to in-person appearances. During her “Just Getting Started” tour, she appeared in legendary places including the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, and the Chicago Theatre. She sold over 100,000 tickets during the first six months of the run. Moving from the studio to the stage, and from small clubs to arenas acknowledged her rise to a major player in stand-up comedy.
The secret to Morgan’s success is her ability to find everyday occurrences funny. She finds the quirks and fun in marriage, family life, and the surprises—sometimes unpleasant—that come with aging. Her storytelling is observational, candid, and warm, and resonates with audiences of all ages. A review says:
“It was less of a show and more like catching up with your funniest friend on her front porch swing.”
Morgan will appear at the Heritage Bank Center on December 10. The doors open at 5.30 pm, with the show at 7.00 pm. Shows like this benefit when organizers use poster printing to boost attendance.
