Leanne’s new Netflix special ‘Unspeakable Things’ brings Southern charm with sharp humor

Few comedians capture the heart of America quite like Leanne Morgan. With her unmistakable Tennessee drawl, stories about family life, and a delivery that’s equal parts maternal and mischievous, Morgan has carved a unique lane in the stand-up world. Her latest Netflix special, Leanne Morgan: Unspeakable Things, proves why she’s become one of comedy’s most beloved voices.

Directed by Manny Rodriguez and filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina, the hour-long set follows Morgan as she balances newfound Hollywood fame, grandmotherhood, and her ever-stubborn husband, Chuck Morgan — a recurring character in her act. The special blends her Southern charm with self-deprecating humor about aging, family, and the absurdities of success. Following the viral triumph of her first Netflix special, I’m Every Woman (2023), which became the platform’s most-watched stand-up by a female comic that year, Morgan returns sharper, more confident, and just as delightfully relatable.

About Leanne Morgan

Born and raised in Adams, Tennessee, Leanne Morgan has become a symbol of what happens when patience, faith, and pure storytelling talent finally converge. At 60, she’s proof that comedy doesn’t belong only to the young and edgy. Morgan’s career started in the most unlikely place — selling jewelry door-to-door. Her charm and quick wit during those sales calls led to local comedy gigs, and eventually, to viral success with her Dry Bar special in 2018, which racked up over five million YouTube views.

Between her Netflix specials, bestselling memoir (What in the World?!), and her hit sitcom, Morgan has quietly become one of the highest-grossing women in stand-up comedy — and she’s only getting started.

Everything we know about Leanne Morgan: Unspeakable Things
