Leanne Morgan will feature an interesting support act on her upcoming career – lingerie.
Vanity Fair Lingerie will accompany Morgan at some of her performances, looking to give five different women $5,000 each to help them pursue their dreams.
The lingerie company likes Morgan’s message of, do what makes you happy.
The tour isn’t encouraging women to wear their lingerie to Morgan’s shows – but Applause Break is.
Today’s Stand-Up Spotlight also includes a story about how comedian Ali Hassan’s history as a chef influences his comedy; a Q&A with Lewis Black (always fun); and an update on Lavell Crawford.
With today being 4/20, there’s bound to be a little extra funny out there. Enjoy – but be careful.

Her response to his grossly harsh phrasing at the time involved words along these lines: “Then make your own.” She could hold a grudge, he says, and she meant it. So off to the kitchen he went.
‘Shut up’: Comic Lewis Black shares views on ‘woke’ outrage ahead of Fort Worth show
