Carol Leifer Biography
Carol Leifer Speaking Topics
Carol Leifer is a clean comedian and proud of it! After 25 appearances on The David Letterman Show, she is used to making people laugh without the use of cursing and f-bombs, totally HR safe! Carol tells her story about being a kid on Long Island, dreaming of one day making it big like the comedians her dad watched on TV shows and specials. “The laughter that rang through my house was such an inspiration for me to go into comedy,” she says. Her journey from being one of the only women on the comedy circuit starting out, the trials and tribulations that she faced and conquered. Segueing to her first comedy writing job on the legendary Saturday Night Live, then moving on to write for the iconic Seinfeld, hers is a tale of determination, grit and gusto. Still going strong thirty years later, as the Co-Executive Producer of the Emmy-winning HBO show Hacks, starring Jean Smart, and producer of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Carol’s tale of hard-won achievement is one for the ages. Her many stories interfacing with legends and the lessons she learned along the way are priceless! Your group will be inspired, entertained, and leaving confident that dreams do come true with just the right amounts of perseverance and positivity!
(Based on Carol’s N.Y. Times Bestselling book)
In this fall-down-funny keynote, Carol describes why she’s been a 30-year mainstay in the male-dominated world of Live Standup and Television Comedy. Her experience is unrivaled as a comedian (25) Letterman appearances, a 40-episode writer on Seinfeld, as the current Co-Executive Producer of the Emmy-winning HBO show Hacks, starring Jean Smart, and writer/producer of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
To be successful in show business at this level, performers, writers, and producers must have a highly resilient, entrepreneurial spirit. Carol takes you behind the scenes of how she navigated disruptive obstacles (and egos) along the way. Your attendees will find Carol’s grit and gusto to be indefatigable, inspiring, and hilarious! Attendees will go home with an easy-to-implement roadmap for developing more confidence and direction in their careers.
(From the comedy writer of Seinfeld, Modern Family, Saturday Night Live and producer of Hacks, and Curb Your Enthusiasm)

REVIEWS
Carol Leifer Reviews
-
“Carol spoke at our nonprofit’s annual Thank You Event. The audience was completely wowed by her wit and poise. Everyone who attended provided glowing feedback. She was personable and friendly, interesting and, of course, hilarious. Considering the event’s purpose was for us to demonstrate our gratitude toward our donors, inviting Carol to address the crowd was a perfect “present.” The only negative from her performance is that we’ve set the bar high for next year’s event!”
Jewish Federation of Pittsburgh - Jul 27 2023 -

“Carol Leifer headlined at our annual scholarship dinner. She had an amazing ability to connect with the audience through her humor. Leifer gave us exactly what we were looking for with clean humor combined with real life stories about her own fascinating life in comedy. Whether you were 25 or 85 you could appreciate Leifer’s take on life and growing up on suburban Long Island.”
