Jan McInnis has been performing comedy, emceeing events, and delivering humor keynotes full-time for over 25 years. She has worked with hundreds of corporations, associations, and professional events across North America, ensuring each event is engaging and memorable. Her professional emcee skills, combined with her expertise in clean humor, make her an excellent choice for hosting major events, including awards banquets.

She tailors her material to suit each audience, which has made her popular with meeting planners and attendees alike. McInnis was featured in the Wall Street Journal for her non-offensive humor and in the Washington Post for her clean comedy writing. She embraces the concept of "finding the funny" in everyday situations, which consistently earns her high ratings from audiences.

Drawing on over fifteen years of experience as a marketing director, McInnis has become a sought-after speaker in the association and corporate convention market. She has spoken at numerous conferences, training sessions, employee retreats, and banquets for organizations such as Anthem Blue-Cross, Merrill Lynch, John Deere, the Federal Reserve, Women in Insurance & Financial Services, and the Mayo Clinic.

Born in D.C., McInnis studied communications at Virginia Tech, where she also worked as a disk jockey for the local radio station. She is the author of "Finding The Funny Fast: How to Create Quick Humor to Connect with Clients, Coworkers and Crowds" and "Convention Comedian – Stories And Wisdom From Two Decades Of Chicken Dinners And Comedy Clubs." In her keynotes, McInnis shares practical tips on handling life’s challenges with humor and provides creative guidelines for mastering change, drawing from her own decision to leave a stable marketing job for the unpredictable world of comedy.
