"Can I just say that the one event I attended where Stacy Pederson was the key note speaker was AMAZING! She was hilariously funny and poignantly real and deeply touching! I have literally been thinking about the things she spoke about for an entire year!! If you are thinking about hiring her- quit thinking and just do it! You will not regret it! (And by the way, she probably has zero idea of who I am, what event I attended or why the heck I am even writing this. Basically, I am just a person who was blessed by her words and her authenticity. I am not paid or even asked to write a single word of this.- She is just that good!)" ....Trisha Winslow

Stacy's Story:

Stacy Pederson holds a BFA in Theatre and has performed stage, film, commercial, standup comedy, and radio work.

Stacy Pederson's stand up comedy and outlook on life began with a diagnosis of a terminal illness with her first husband. Stacy began a difficult journey fraught with failure—including a failed marriage, single parenting, job loss, broken dreams, and financial ruin.

Then in July of 2011, Stacy stepped on a rusty nail. The simple misstep caused several bouts in the hospital, near death experiences, and surgery with lifelong repercussions. Stacy now has a deep understanding of the universal need we all have for hope, love, joy, and laughter.

Stacy gives practical tips on improving one's quality of life by learning how to overcome adversity, improve happiness, lowering stress, and dealing with change.

I HIGHLY recommend Stacy Pederson. Not only does Stacy provide super fun entertainment with her always witty and often side-splitting humor, she prepares her talk by listening to the different presentations during your event and makes "respectful" fun of things she heard in a way that reinforces learning. The perfect performer to maximize the emotional and educational impact of your event, Stacy will win all hearts, even though she has a soft spot for women and fellow mom-preneurs. Book her today. Stacy's schedule is sure to fill up!

Stacy exceeded my expectations! She was absolutely hilarious and great to work with! I would recommend her a million times over!

— Kylie Hayes, Corporate Event, Fort Collins, CO

I've seen Stacy perform at a couple women's conferences and she is the bomb! Her physical comedy reminds me of Lucille Ball and it's seriously hilarious! I especially related to her family/kids humor – if only it wasn't so darn true. Stacy is a must have for any convention or rally where you want to connect with and entertain your audience. Oh, yeah — and she is inspirational, too!
