Episode 248 - Leanne Morgan

Author: All Things Comedy January 28, 2025 Duration: 1:14:28
This week on Breaking Bread we sit in on a date between girlfriend & boyfriend, Leanne Morgan and Tom Papa. They talk all things romance: night sweats, pontoon boats, and men who are “tiny in their pants.” Leanne doesn’t have much time for her boyfriend between touring, writing her book “What in the World?!” and starring in the new Amazon Prime film, “You’re Cordially Invited.” In her free time, Leanne films her upcoming Netflix show with Chuck Lorre, and somehow still manages to have imposter syndrome.

There's something about sharing a meal that loosens the tongue and opens people up. That's the simple, delicious premise behind Breaking Bread with Tom Papa. Each week, the comedian sits down with a fascinating guest-from fellow comics and actors to chefs, writers, and artists-and lets the conversation flow as naturally as a good dinner party. The talk isn't strictly about food, though it often meanders there; it's more about the ingredients that make up a life: work, family, failures, and the little joys found in a perfect slice of pizza. Tom's warm, curious, and genuinely funny approach creates an atmosphere where guests tend to share stories and perspectives you might not hear elsewhere. This isn't a formal interview; it's the kind of easy, laughter-filled chat that happens when people connect over something fundamental. Produced by All Things Comedy, the podcast serves up a consistent blend of humor and heart, making you feel like you've pulled up a chair at the table. You'll come for the comedy and the recognizable names, but you'll stay for the surprising depth and the feeling that you're listening in on a real, unguarded conversation between friends.
