Leanne Morgan: I'm Every Woman

Magandang pelikula!

It's rare to find a comedian performance on Netflix that doesn't devolve into obscenity, so in that respect, Leanne Morgan was a refreshing change. Like Jerry Seinfeld, she works 'clean', and she can be funny doing it. She called this performance part of her 'Big Panty Tour' though that's not mentioned in the promo for this special. With only a quick mention of that, Morgan goes on to describe elements of her family life, with particular attention to her overachiever husband - "I love him, I just don't want to be with him." It's all in good fun, as she laments how she gained weight during Covid via Jello salads, while taking swipes against perimenopause and fighting over the thermostat with Hubby Chuck. Her delivery is a bit static, but punctuated with facial expressions and body language that adds some life to the presentation. Her routine may not be laugh out loud funny, but she did get a handful of chuckles out of this viewer, and for that, I'd probably catch a few more of her shows.

That awful pandemic gave me an opportunity to check out some new comics on streaming and I found her. I just loved her snippets on You tube and her upbeat, family friendly with some innuendo approach as well as her non standup check ins with her fans. I found myself laughing out loud at her southern observational and confessional humor This special of new material does not disappoint, as it tackles life on the road, her family, life as empty nestors and her life in a southern town. Just funny stuff. Her timing is impeccable as usual and she is just so likable that you come away feeling you have just made a new friend. So glad that she is not a blue comic, as that would ruin her persona. She throws in healthy innuendo and her facial expressions tell it all.

I'm around her age, and found most of her material very relatable and funny. The stuff about her husband, their relationship, what it's like being in our 50's, her thoughts on her body, etc...all very funny. I was taken aback by her saying her parents owned a "mink processing plant". This is information that could be kept out of a standup routine. If her parents killed dogs for a living, would she have mentioned it? The fact that she mentioned it, to me revealed that she's got no moral issue with it. So... I immediately lost any affection that I'd collected for her up to that point. Hard to enjoy someone I think so little of.

I cannot express how refreshing this was to watch, I mean when I first saw it I thought what the hell I'll give it a try, Because my tolerance for female comedians isn't great, As it seems all they have is Pu$$y jokes and sex jokes, it was so refreshing to see a witty funny comedian that didn't resort to Pu$$y jokes, in fact it was rather family friendly, and I actually enjoyed watching this in fact it's one of only a few specials I have rewatched a few times, There's something warm and loving about this I really hope to see more Netflix specials from this breath of fresh air in the female comedian genre.

I am about ten years older than Leanne, single, no children, an urban West coast intellectual and I found Leanne's comedy relatable and hilarious. She is humble and somehow manages to hone in on universal insecurities especially of the cisgender feminine variety. The 74 minutes flew by. Enormously appealing and entertaining. As others have pointed out her comedy is gentle and inoffensive. Looking forward to her next special. It is a treat listening to her musical Tennessee twang. Her appearance is also quite refreshing- not super-dolled or glammed up - reminds me of someone I used to know - Leanne is an ordinary and brilliant woman.

I have watched many clips of Leanne Morgan but this is the first feature event and it was super! I like her type of humor, probably in part because I am a southern woman and just a little bit older than her. By including her family in her routine, it is easy to relate as a wife and a mom ( and those younger college days:)). She told funny stories that you could share with old and young alike and not worried about the language or if they needed to be "bleeped". I believe what you see is exactly what you get with Ms Morgan, she is a woman, a wife and a mother that does a wonderful job sharing her humorous life stories in a way that makes you feel like a part of her family for a little while. Great show!

A must see. Luckily, I found LeeAnn Morgan comedy during covid while looking for videos on YouTube and have seen most of her sets through her years as a comic. What is nice about her is that her sets are not repeats of her previous material, always new insights. Her take on everyday things have hillarious twists and turns, you actually feel you are right there experiencing what she is talking about. Many times I almost peed myself from laughing so hard. This show was an easy hour long and I wanted more! I absolutely love her and I suspect you will too, laughter is so needed with all the troubles in our world. So glad Netflix finally gave her a special and I look forward to many more.
