ABOUT REal Women

Real Women Do It Standing Up: Stories From the Career of a Very Funny Lady - Comedian, author, and radio/TV co-host, Leighann Lord, shares stories about her life and career as a stand-up comedian. Dive into the world of this fiercely independent funny lady who still sleeps with a teddy bear. Whether it’s on stage, on the road, or at home in everyday life, Leighann has curated a collection of true tales including:

'The Desert is No Place for Neat Freaks'

'Peeing Standing Up'

'I Have a Tattoo on My Vagina, Wanna See?'


You’ll have a lot of laughs and a few delightfully awkward, but hopefully poignant, moments with Leighann; the daughter Erma Bombeck and George Carlin should have had.

Author's Note From the Book

Today – not all that long ago – I stepped on stage to do stand-up comedy for the first time and my life was forever changed. With a microphone in my hand I have traveled further, flown higher, and burned brighter than with anything else I could have chosen to do with my life. Stand-up has given me my deepest heartaches and my greatest joys. It has wounded and healed me. Stand-up comedy has introduced me to the most awesomely talented and deeply troubled people I have ever met; many of whom I am proud to call my friends and fans. I’ve given up many things to do stand-up and it has given me gifts beyond measure. Knowing what I know now, would I choose to do it again? How could I not? That said, why didn't anybody stop me?
