Some comics work their way up from empty open mic shows to headlining. Others, like Leanne Morgan, find their way into the funny quite unexpectedly. In the ’90s, she got a gig selling jewelry door-to-door. Impressed with her relatable jokes about motherhood, one client booked her for a comedy gig. The rest is history. Since then, Morgan has become one of the most prominent names in comedy, earning a legion of fans with her relatable material. Her first comedy special has garnered millions of views, and her Netflix special debuted in the top 10. With further material and acting parts in movies, Morgan, who may be pushing 60, is just getting started with her career.
