A comedy special that filmed in Wilmington over the summer is getting ready to premiere on the world’s biggest streaming service.<\/p>\n
In June, Cape Fear Community College’s Wilson Center hosted four sold-out shows by comic Leanne Morgan and its first-ever taping of a Netflix comedy special: Morgan’s “Unspeakable Things,” which comes out Nov. 4.<\/p>\n
“This Leanne Morgan thing is the biggest feather in our cap,” said CFCC Wilson Center Executive Director Zach Pluer said. “Of all the Live Nation venues, of all the well-known comedy clubs in the country that one of the top-three-grossing comedians in the world right now could have chosen to film her stand-up special, she chose the Wilson Center.”<\/p>\n
“On top of the filming this was a record-breaker for us for a comedy show,” Pluer added, with four sold-out performances. <\/p>\n
A trailer for the special doesn’t show much of the Wilson Center, but it does feature Morgan, who’s known for her frank, Southern-style humor, talking about the challenges of marriage and raising childre<\/p>\n
Morgan’s first Netflix special, “I’m Every Woman,” hit the streaming service in 2023. She also has a scripted comedy series on Netflix titled “Leanne.”<\/p>\n
Morgan regularly sells out theaters nationwide and appears on various podcasts and talk shows as a sought-after guest. The Tennessee native published her first book, “What in the World?”, in 2024 and it became a New York Times best seller.<\/p>\n
