Carol Leifer

In these trying times, we need Carol Leifer more than ever. A trail-blazing female in the world of comedy, Leifer is not only a veteran on the standup circuit, but is also a sought after writer and producer who has worked on such shows as Saturday Night Live, Seinfeld, and HBO’s critically acclaimed The Larry Sanders Show. There is no doubt that she can make us laugh.

More than just a brief respite from the bad news and hard times, however, Leifer speaks to those things that matter most in our lives with insight gleaned from her own life-experiences, and yes, with humor. Whether sharing the struggles of a woman competing in a male-dominated field, or facing the prospect of breast cancer, she captivates audiences with humor and wisdom. Aging gracefully, parenthood, growing up Jewish, and coming out as a lesbian in her forties—no subject is off-limits or safe from her sharp wit.

One of the funniest, most intelligent and most successful comedy writer/producer/comedian/ actresses around, Leifer has appeared on such shows as Oprah, The View, Late Show with David Letterman, Larry King Live, and The Howard Stern Show. She is also the author of When You Lie About Your Age, the Terrorists Win: Reflections on Looking in the Mirror.

A speaker sure to captivate any audience, Leifer shares her philosophy and outlook on life, encouraging us all to strive to be our “authentic selves."
