The entire show was well worth an hour's ride in the blinding rain from my house. Specific to Leighann Lord, she is a superstar. She is hilarious and witty, with a perfect delivery every time. I personally think it takes huge talent to have the audience doubling over without ever uttering one F bomb. Don't get me wrong. I'm no prude, but I do marvel at her elevated talent.
