Leanne Morgan Brings the Laughs and the UNSPEAKABLE THINGS to Netflix
“Morgan’s unvarnished style of storytelling shows us why she’s resonating with much of America. There’s just no substitute for a whip-smart Southern woman telling it like it is.”
—Los Angeles Times
Leanne Morgan has made a career out of saying the things plenty of women are thinking but might not actually say out loud. In her second Netflix stand-up special, Unspeakable Things, the Tennessee comedian turns newfound fame, marriage, family and the indignities of everyday life into an hour that feels less like a performance than catching up with your funniest friend. Unspeakable Things premiered on November 4, 2025, debuting at #1 worldwide, earning a 2026 Critics Choice Association nomination for Best Comedy Special and winning a 2026 Gracie Award. Morgan’s unmistakable Southern drawl and wonderfully unfiltered point of view are all over the special, whether she’s adjusting to life in the spotlight or recounting her first, and apparently last, experience with CBD. The stories may be uniquely hers, but the recognition is immediate. Morgan has a gift for finding the absurdity in ordinary life and then taking it just far enough to make you wonder how she got there.
That relatability remains the secret weapon of Unspeakable Things. Morgan can get cheeky (and frequently does!), but the comedy works because there’s warmth underneath it. Family life, getting older and suddenly finding yourself in a very different place than you expected provide plenty of material, and Morgan approaches all of it without pretending she has life figured out. Directed by Manny Rodriguez, the special gives her room to do what she does best: tell a story, wander down an unexpected path and land on a punchline that feels both surprising and completely familiar. Unspeakable Things is the kind of comedy that understands growing older doesn’t necessarily make you more reserved. Sometimes it just gives you better stories—and a lot less interest in keeping them to yourself.
Leanne Morgan rose to prominence with her debut Netflix special I'm Every Woman, showcasing her signature blend of relatable humor and Southern charm. Since early 2023, the special has become Netflix's most-viewed stand-up special from a female comedian globally, cementing Morgan's breakout success after more than 25 years on the road building a devoted fanbase. She has since expanded her creative footprint to television, starring in her Netflix sitcom Leanne, created in partnership with Chuck Lorre, which returned for its second season on August 27, 2026, again debuting in Netflix’s Global Top 10. Morgan has made the leap from longtime touring comedian to a performer working across stand-up, television, and film without losing the quality that got her there in the first place: she still sounds like Leanne Morgan telling you a story that will leave you laughing.

REVIEWS
"It can be hard to think of another contemporary entertainer who has managed to enthrall both the woman who might still call herself a "homemaker" and the elite comedy establishment."
—New York Times
"A lot of comedians are storytellers, but what sets Morgan apart is her unique perspective as a 60-year-old church-raised mother and grandmother, who always saw herself in entertainment but wanted to raise a family first. To use a comedy term, she kills with kindness. She punctuates her conversation with "honey" and "darling," and her comedy is clean, often self-deprecating and family-friendly, with a pinch of wickedness that emerges at unexpected moments."
—Billboard Magazine
"Morgan's relatable storytelling and Southern humor have made her a powerhouse in comedy."
