Judy Carter
What is this standup comedy maven talking about???!!
Season 7 kicks off our exploration of humor and its impact on the human psyche when going through a breakup with the ever witty and funny, standup comic, Judy Carter. She’s appeared on the “Tonight” show, “Oprah,” and many others. She wrote The New Bible of Comedy and has another book in the works. In speaking to Host Glass, Judy asserts that a person should turn all challenges into comedy; that there is great power in comedy, and that much of standup comedy material is simply derived from one’s own personal "complaints." Judy Carter, who has taught standup comedy for many years, not only explains how standup is written and performed, but also her own life experiences where she chose to turn to comedy for healing and solace. She takes us inside the office she rented when she didn’t even have a job or a business to run. She shares her steps for writing comedy, her formula for finding it, and her life philosophy which, of course, is grounded in humor.

You may have seen Judy Carter on your TV — she’s made over 100 appearances as a standup and starred in four HBO comedy specials. But as an author, she doesn’t like to brag… well, maybe a little. After all, she did write the Bible. No joke, Judy is the author of The New Comedy Bible, a powerful guide that even had Oprah asking, "Can you teach people to be funny?" Spoiler alert: The answer is yes. So, if you’re humor-impaired, get ready to take notes tonight!
Judy’s insights have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, CNN, and NPR, where they all ask the same burning question: "How can we stress less and laugh more?" Her answer is simple: laugh at your stress before it laughs at you. Known for her engaging blend of humor and insight, Judy is a motivational humorist speaking at Fortune 500 companies as well as the less fortunate.
With a style that unites people through laughter, Judy Carter is here to remind us that humor is not just a coping tool; it’s a superpower.
