The world’s only real ex-Mormon-housewife-turned-comedian, Leah Renee is unlike any you’ve seen before.
In a world where most comedians aim to kill, Leah Renee is focused on nurturing the hell out of the room. Whether she’s performing in dingy basement dive bars or on the stages of New York City comedy clubs, she brings warmth, wit, and sharp humor to every set. Additionally, her comedy has taken her from intimate theaters to international comedy festivals. Based in Philadelphia, Leah Renee will stop at nothing to stay on stage—mostly because it beats being home taking care of her children.
Podcaster, comedian, and writer Leah Renee is happy to answer questions about soaking, dirty sodas, and what it’s like to give birth to a 4.7 kg baby in her kitchen. And for the record, she did not eat the placenta after she delivered (which oddly is the same size, texture, and temperature of a Chicago deep dish pizza). She ate Chipotle thank you very much.
Solo artist and four time Edinburgh Fringe performer, her past shows include:
Practical Soaker (2026), Best Cult Ever (2025), Ten Pound Baby (2024), Bucket (2023) and Star Spangled Stand Up (2022)
If you want to see the living embodiment of “If caffeine were a person”, see Leah at any number of festivals, comedy clubs, or at a pop up show run by some dude in a hoodie in the back of a sports bar simultaneously showing a Phillies game.
“Funny, daring and quite surprising in places with laugh out loud moments of wryness, poignancy, shock and tenderness.”
