Leah Renee Comedian, Host, MC

I usually do 30 minutes of my regular material plus a few minutes of material specific to the event to keep audiences engaged. I am happy to write jokes that suit the occasion and can be trusted with both younger crowds and older crowds. I don't do roasts, material with a lot of swear words or have any graphic sexual nor angry/aggressive material.

I genuinely enjoy people and like keeping up the energy of the event and involving audience members if they are comfortable. I don't ask any personal/potentially embarrassing questions of the audience like asking if someone is married/single, job, age etc. but may ask questions like "Who here is from Philadelphia?" or "Anyone here serve in the military?".

The only ex-Mormon housewife turned stand up comedian, I've performed across the US and Europe. A four time Edinburgh Fringe Festival performer, I've also written and performed solos shows for Philly Theater Week, Glasgow International Comedy Festival, Brighton Fringe (England), Philly Fringe, Good Karma Comedy Festival, and Moms Unhinged. I perform primarily in Philadelphia, NYC, and the tri state area and occasionally go on the road for international comedy festivals and special shows across the country. My 2026 Euro tour took me to Dublin, Cork, London, Cardiff, Copenhagen, and Bristol.

Proud and exhausted mother of three small children, my comedy style is primarily punchline dense storytelling, drawn from four decades of lived experience. Some of my favorite shows have been small cozy girls night home shows where I can connect and chat with women at eye level. In a male-dominated industry I delight in sharing my experience as a woman, wife, and mother and of course, what most people are curious about, my Mormon past.

Most comedians want to kill on stage, I nurture the heck out of the room. I never roast audience members, I'm just glad people came out for a fun night and that's always my aim: everyone leaves feeling better than when they came.

I have my own PA system (microphone/speaker etc.).
