JUDY CARTER
Turning Problems Into Punchlines
Judy Carter -- master teacher, author, and humorous speaker -- started her career as a magician and later as a stand-up comic, appearing on over one hundred television shows. Ten years ago Judy Carter formed Comedy Workshop Productions, a school for “wanna-be” comics. Carter also produces the annual California Comedy Conference, which is attended by top Hollywood VIPs including executives from HBO, Warner Bros, William Morris Agency and others. Judy Carter is the author of Standup Comedy: The Book (Dell Books, 1989), which has sold over 150,000 copies. Her latest book The Comedy Bible (Simon & Schuster; September 2001) is the definitive guide to making a career out of making people laugh.
Judy Carter's expertise at teaching others to use comedy to transform their lives and careers has created a nationwide demand for her as a corporate and college speaker and workshop leader. An outstanding motivational speaker, Judy Carter has inspired thousands of people to use humor to deal with change, increase sales and punch up speeches in short, to turn problems into punch lines.
Judy Carter’s success in corporate comedy has generated feature stories in the Wall Street Journal, LA Times, New York Times and Success Magazine. She has brought her "don’t get mad, get funny" philosophy to Fortune 500 companies such as Boeing, Lucent Technologies, FedEx, Blue Cross and Pacific Bell. They have found Judy Carter'a "tell-it-like-it-is" (only funnier) approach advantageous when tackling sensitive issues like downsizing, layoffs, and diversity.
Her pioneering approach to turning "problems into punchlines" has been profiled on CNN, ABC World News and Oprah. Judy Carter recently sat on Tom Peters’ Board of Directors and is a popular speaker at the American Society for Training and Development conference that caters to professional trainers and speakers.
Judy Carter has also organized a wide variety of fund-raising events, such as "HIV: Humor is Vital," -- a comedy workshop for people living with AIDS. In addition, Judy Carter has worked with groups such as Wellness Community cancer patients and Cedars Sinai social workers.
In addition to mastering comedy, Judy Carter is a professional magician, being one of the first women to work at the prestigious Magic Castle in Hollywood, creating quite a stir with her "death-defying" escape from her grandmother’s girdle. Carter is also a passionate snowboarder and phenomenal matzo-ball soup maker. Judy Carter's cat and two dogs allow her to share their home in Venice, CA.
