SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY

Growing up in a small town, like her fellow Oklahoman, Will Rogers, Diana Jordan never met a person she couldn’t find some good in … or humor. Diana has toured the country many times over as an extremely successful stand-up comedian and author. She is also a cancer survivor and speaks about her journey to many cancer organizations and events nationwide.

After having entertained over a million people live and on television, Diana came to realize that in making people laugh she was helping them deal with life’s stresses, motivating them, and teaching them what a great tool a burst of laughter is. As a funny motivational speaker in Diana’s virtual or live keynote address, messages ring loud and true about how you can make the choice to be happy, find the funny in your life, take responsibility for your own health, and bust stress. Just these four things can make a happier, healthier, and more productive you!

Laughter nourishes the soul, brightens the outlook on life, busts stress, and prevents burnout. Unfortunately, Diana had to put into application all that she knew and had learned when she was diagnosed in 2010 with breast cancer. “Like Norman Cousins, my sense of humor helped me deal with my situation and recovery. Laughter is the magic bullet!”

Comedy also helped Diana heal the wounds of an unsettling childhood and being bullied for having (undiagnosed) A.D.D. and dyslexia.  As well as being funny, sports such as gymnastics, ballet, and track were her salvation. A Survivor in every sense of the word, when Diana takes to the podium you can feel the electricity in the air!

Diana has also been featured on Oprah for her talent as a comedian and writer. Her hilarious, best-selling book called, A Wife’s Little Instruction Book, Your Survival Guide To Marriage Without Bloodshed! has sold over 500,000 copies.

A world traveler, Diana has lived in Greece, Hawaii, Chicago, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and even ‘starved’ while working as a waitress in New York to get a job on Broadway. She never gives up! For the last two decades, Diana has headlined America’s top comedy clubs and entertained our troops overseas.

For over a year she performed her widely popular one-woman-show, “Female, Fertile, and Frustrated!” which she wrote, produced, directed, and starred in at the world famous Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena, California. “Female, Fertile, and Frustrated!” is still the longest running one person show in the forty year history of The Ice House. No longer FERTILE, Diana makes light of getting older and using humor to cope with life, change, stress & being a cancer survivor.

Diana studied improv comedy in Los Angeles at“Off the Wall!” classes with fellow classmate/date mate, Robin Williams. She has been under contract to CBS Network and Twentieth Century Fox for her self-written sitcom and is a member of SAG, AFTRA, The National Speakers Association, and The Writers Guild of America.

As a talented comedian and singer, she has opened in concert for major stars at The Kennedy Center, Garden State Arts Center, and Radio City Music Hall. She has also been the Master of Ceremonies for gala events with prestigious speakers such as Former Secretary of State, General Colin Powell and Yolanda King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King.
