Jenny Herrick
Speaker Jenny Herrick is a nationally known motivational humorist who inspires people to “lighten up, loosen up and laugh a lot.” Jenny’s depth of knowledge on humor’s healing strengths, her ability to see the positive side of every situation and her caring attitude leave audiences upbeat, smiling and ready to face their own challenges with a fresh attitude.

A retired registered nurse, Jenny has made more than 1,500 professional speeches since 1995, teaching hundreds of thousands of people worldwide how laughter can help them lead happier and healthier lives. Her speaking clients include Fortune 500 companies, National and State Associations, Health Care Organizations, Nonprofits, Conferences, and Professional Societies.

Her life experiences — from being widowed at age 27, to a career as a registered nurse, to joining other clown ambassadors to spread “mirth aid” to rescue workers at Ground Zero just after 9/11 — provide her with a never-ending resource of stories that illustrate her philosophy that humor is truly the best medicine.

Her trip as a clown missionary alongside Dr. Patch Adams to orphanages and nursing homes in China inspired her to form a hospital-based caring clown troupe that she continues to manage today.

Jenny is president of a presentation and training business, All Kidding Aside (www.allkiddingaside.biz). She is a member of the National Speakers Association, Applied Association for Therapeutic Humor, Toastmasters International and International Clowns of America. She is a Certified Laughter Leader (CLL) and Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM). She is author of two books: Her autobiography, You Laugh, I’ll Drive (2007) and Laugh Your Lips Off! (2012).
