"There's
just something striking about Jeanne Robertson. Maybe it's her beauty queenesque good looks. Or maybe it's that she's six-feet-two inches tall. Regardless of what it is, once you hear her speak, you'll
remember her -- that
is, if you can quit
laughing long enough to
catch your breath." Southern Lady Magazine
And just who is
Jeanne Robertson? Jeanne Robertson
is a professional speaker who specializes in hilarious humor
based
on her life experiences. Speaking to thousands of people annually, she utilizes her
positively funny style to illustrate that a sense of humor is much more than a laughing
matter. It is a strategy for success.
Other speakers might be as
witty as Jeanne. Some might even be as tall.
(Barefooted with
her hair "mashed" down, she's
6'2" in her size 11B stocking feet.) But nowhere
will you find
a speaker so adept at turning
personal experiences into funny material that
does more than
elicit laughter. This Miss
Congeniality winner in the Miss America Pageant,
“Yearrrrrrrrrrrs
ago,” quoting Jeanne, uses her
down-home Southern drawl to leave her audiences
laughing
. . . and thinking about her message.
Jeanne's success as a
humorous speaker has not gone unnoticed by her
peers. She has
been awarded every top honor in
her profession. They like her back home too. The
NC
Press Association named Jeanne2001 North
Carolinian of the Year.
You may have seen this
Hall of Fame speaker being interviewed by CBS
correspondent
Morley Safer on "60 Minutes" . . .
or watched one of the six humor DVDs she has
produced
in the last eleven years . . . or heard
her daily on Sirius/XM Radio’s Family Comedy
Channels . . . or seen her Youtube clips that have had millions of hits. But only if
you've seen
Jeanne in
person at one of the thousands of speeches she
has given over the
past 45 years can you really appreciate why she stands at the top of her
profession.
Jeanne
Robertson is funny. Oh my, yes. She also knows
that her job is far more than being
funny. Her
message is that a sense of humor is an attitude,
an approach toward working with
people. She
believes that this humor attitude can be
developed and improved, and she
outlines how to
do so while captivating audiences with funny,
original stories.
"Don't bungee jump naked."
"Don't send a man to the
grocery store."
"Don't go rafting without a Baptist
in the boat." (No Baptists were harmed
in the taping of this clip. But a couple of Methodists - Left Brain & Jeanne
- almost died.)
