Judy Carter

Judy Carter is an American comedian, speaker, author, and writing coach whose work centers on comedy, storytelling, and personal branding.

Biografia e Jornada do Autor

Judy Carter built her career by turning early difficulty into performance craft. Raised in Los Angeles, she has said that she grew up with a severe speech impediment and a disabled older sister, experiences that pushed her toward humor, storytelling, and magic. Her informal education began in libraries and magic shops; her formal training included USC’s theater program. Before she was widely known as an author, she worked as a magician and became the first woman to play the Close-Up Gallery at Hollywood’s Magic Castle. Another turning point came when lost luggage derailed her magic act on tour and pushed her, suddenly and decisively, toward stand-up comedy.
