Jeanne Robertson 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.
     Other speakers might be as witty as Jeanne. Some
might even be as tall. (Bare footed with her hair
"mashed" down, she's 6'2" in her size 11 stocking feet.)
But nowhere will you find a speaker so adept at turning personal experiences into humorous presentations that
do more than elicit laughter. This Miss Congeniality winner in the Miss America Pageant uses her down
 home
Southern drawl to leave her audiences laughing ... and thinking about her message.
     Jeanne's longevity 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 North Carolina Press Association named Jeanne its 2001 North Carolinian of the Year.
     You may have seen this successful speaker inter-
viewed by CBS correspondent Morley Safer on "60 Minutes" ... or seen one of her presentations on public television ... or read one of her books about humor. But only if you've heard Jeanne in person at one of the thousands of speeches she has presented over the
past 40 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 A 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 she captivates her audiences with funny, original stories.
