Lea Taylor is an author and professional storyteller; through her work she has stopped double decker buses on The Royal Mile, Edinburgh, chained herself to railings, dressed up as one of Mary Queen of Scots courtiers (try driving in a hooped dress, its a hoot!), she's ridden trams in Canada dressed as a Suffragette (toffee hammer to the ready!) and woven her own willow dogs for performances she has written. She's also trained Scottish Ministers to tell fairy tales! As an author life is just as bonkers only the scenarios are played out on the page.

Comedian Leanne Morgan tells the BEST stories about kids, doo-doo, tiny panties, crazy breasts, jello salads, and so much more!

Leanne is loving:

• Hilton Head Health

Here's the video of Leanne talking about mean daughters.

Here's my article about getting a shopping sports bra injury.

Leanne’s style of comedy combines her southern charm and hilarious story telling about her own life into an act that keeps them coming back for more. As a stay-at-home, mother of three with a husband, people are always accusing her of spying on them because she seems to be living the same life that they do. The fact that everyone can relate to her comedy has made her a hit even among the strangest of audiences. While performing in San Antonio she was asked to appear at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival and shortly thereafter appeared on ABC’s The View in a hilarious housewife segment. Leanne appeared as a finalist on Nick at Nite’s Funniest Mom and toured three years with the Southern Fried Chicks. She has appeared in comedy clubs, performing arts centers, and theatres all over the United States. She counts as her celebrity fans, Dr. Phil and Paula Deen. She has appeared on both their shows. Leanne and fellow comic Reno Collier recently co-hosted Chewing the Fat, a weekly radio show on Sirius XM/Blue Collar Radio and her comedy is in rotation every day on Sirius comedy channels. She has toured as part of the comedy trio Country Cool, along with headliners Karen Mills and Trish Suhr. She has a comedy special currently streaming on VidAngel called “So Yummy” and her videos on Dry Bar Comedy have gotten more than 50 million views and growing! She has a podcast called Sweaty and Pissed...Menopause and More.  2021 will see Leanne embarking on her very first national headlining tour across the United States! Her “Big Panty Tour” will bring her hit stand-up comedy routine to the masses!
