Leanne’s Comedy Journey
Getting Started: Leanne began her comedy journey after coworkers suggested she take comedy classes. Following a divorce, she found inspiration for her material and started classes in 2001 while living in Vegas.
From Vegas to New York to LA: Five years later, she moved to New York City to pursue comedy full-time after being laid off. Nine years down the road, she made the leap to LA. Leanne humorously noted that she initially moved for a man, but that turned out to be a joke in itself.
Performing in LA: Leanne performed at iconic venues like the Comedy Store, sharing her experiences of the nerve-wracking but rewarding atmosphere. She also started producing shows closer to home to avoid the infamous LA traffic.
The Move to Plausible: After her journey through New York and California, Leanne now resides in Seattle and runs her comedy shows on plausible.com. Plausible, the tech company she founded, enables comedians to perform live online, bridging the gap between in-person and virtual comedy.
