Meet Jenn

Award-winning comedian. Communication strategist. Former talent manager turned stage-slaying keynote speaker. Jenn Lederer helps leaders, teams, and visionaries find the words that connect, captivate, and convert without putting anyone to sleep in the process.

Her work has been spotlighted by SiriusXM, Forbes, Huffington Post, and Inspiring Lives Magazine. She’s performed at Google HQ, Twitter, Yale, and comedy clubs across NYC and Europe. (Yes, she really can make an academic and a tech exec laugh in the same breath.)

With 15+ years of creative industry experience ranging from producing musicals and albums to managing actors and coaching entrepreneurs, Jenn knows how to shape a story that sticks. Her signature workshops and keynotes use a comedian’s formula to teach professionals how to talk about what they do in a way that’s actually interesting. Because “What do you do?” doesn’t have to be the most dreaded question at the party.

From the boardroom to the big stage, Jenn delivers tools that energize people around their message and show them how to lead with clarity, confidence, and a wink of comedic flair.

Jenn’s Muse

It took an intuitive painting class (in the dead of winter, 2018) for me to realize it was time to start comedy. Which could be the most millennial sentence ever written. But alas, it is my truth. We were given one word before starting to paint: Curiosity.

I picked up my paint brush with no plan in sight. The next thing I knew I was staring down at this guy:

A colorful abstract drawing of a bird with yellow, orange, and purple feathers, wearing glasses and having blue hair.

The Owl

As I signed my “J” on the bottom left corner I heard the words “Start comedy now.” ringing clearly in my head. I recognized this voice. I’d heard it come through before anytime someone would ask “What’s next for Jenn?” and I’d say “I’m getting into comedy!” even though stand-up comedy was the ONE medium I swore I’d never do. I decided this time, I’d heed the advice. It’s hard to ignore an Owl.

One month later I performed my first stand-up comedy set in the same room where said Owl was painted. And so began a personal and professional transformation I never could have seen coming.

You know who did see it coming?

My muse. And the reason my brand is now called Amuse’d By Jenn.
