Jeanne Robertson is not your typical comedian. For starters, she’s probably taller than most.

The former Miss North Carolina is a towering 6 feet, 2 inches, and after realizing during her pageant days that she could tell a funny story, she embarked on a career that has made her one of the country’s most sought-after professional speakers.

Jeanne considers herself a humorist. She says she finds ways to weave stories that everyone can relate to into a message that corporations and associations want their members to hear.

Jeanne says she’s not a joke teller — she’s a story crafter and sometimes a bit of a truth stretcher. But she says with her humor and Southern accent, she uses her tales to drive home a point that has real meaning.

The 67-year-old grandmother is also embracing technology to reach even more people. Over the past 13 years, she’s made six DVDs. They’re so popular that they’re even streamed on Sirius/XM Radio’s Family Comedy Channels. Plus, her YouTube videos have garnered millions of pageviews.

She shares her exciting plans for the future, including a national comedy tour — her first. And find out why she keeps pushing herself to come up with newer, stronger material, despite her huge success.
