"Stacy is a gifted comedian with that rare ability to combine cultural observations with self-effacing humor to not only knock you off your feet laughing but to also bring a great deal of heart. She knows what it is to be human and has the ability to laugh at life and all it's twists and turns. Stacy is one of the best female comedians I have ever seen - she is a thinking person's humorist." Jacque Abplanalp, Vocatus Productions.

“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, Event Attendee

"I HIGHLY recommend Stacy Pederson, a marvelous comedian. 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!" Dr. Josephine Gross, Co-Founder and Editor of "Networking Times"
