Jody connected to our organization prior to arriving via social media and posted content and comments in advance of the show. From the moment he arrived at our venue, he began engaging with everyone in the room. He exudes charm and truly connects with people. His show was personalized to our group and event, and his content wasn't just healthy, it was therapeutic! What a fascinating human with great, funny stories to share!

Jody was incredible to work with. He communicated super well and was very poignant. We booked Jody for a marriage conference at our church and delivered exactly in the way he said he would. He was very social and respectful with our staff and guests before and after his set. I knew based on his videos that he would be great but his set exceeded expectations. We would gladly have him back and recommend him to anyone looking for a comedian/speaker.
Mr. Fuller was the main entertainment for Grand Valley Power’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Members. With over 450 guests in attendance, the pressure was on and Mr. Fuller delivered! His presentation was professional, but included light hearted humor that tickled every audience member. Additionally, Mr. Fuller stayed through the entire event to interact guests and employees which many enjoyed and appreciated - He truly goes the extra mile!
Whether you’re hosting a business meeting or community-wide event, I highly recommend Jody Fuller for all your entertainment needs.

Jody played to a packed house at our retirement community and kept everyone laughing for a solid hour. It is hard to find a clean comedian, and Jody did not disappoint! He is warm and friendly, and Jody interacted with the crowd on a personal level when he was not on stage. He was the perfect fit for what we needed!

Jody Fuller's comic performance was a great way to kick-off our recent conference. There was a hurricane threatening our event and folks were understandably a little uptight. Jody's performance loosened everyone and got their mind off of any worldly or weather concerns. The conference went on to be a great success. Jody's humor was a great way to kick it all off.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jody Fuller! We hired him for our first Men's Night at our church and he did not disappoint. His unique way of intertwining his self-deprecating comedy and his love for Jesus are just two of the things that make him so incredibly funny and loved by his audiences. He was also extremely communicatie and easy to work with. We will be using Jody again in the future!

I have booked Jody for several events that I have been in charge of for the last five years. He always brings a top notch performance. His interaction with the audience is superb. No matter how many times I have heard Jody he brings something new each time. No matter what is going on in our life we always need laughter. You can’t go wrong with Jody Fullee

Jody was phenomenal and a real blessing to our all mens monthly gathering. We expected our numbers to be off with our meeting 5 days before Christmas but over 220 men gathered for a great night of laughter 😄. Jody is not only funny, his comedy is clean and friendly for all ages. Our group is very diverse from teens to 80's and everyone enjoyed the night. Laughter is great medicine for the soul and we all walked away healthier! I would highly recommend Jody for any audience!

Jody Fuller was in my daughter's high school Latin class! They still exchange birthday cards each year in Latin! She said "he's the REAL DEAL"! He was as funny in Latin class as he is now! This November the 18th, at the 39th Annual Conference of the Alabama Association for the Education and Rehabilitation of the Blind and Visually Impaired I will have the extreme pleasure of introducing Jody Fuller for the third time. His work, his points of view, are drawn from real life experiences, and we all know that life itself is funnier than any contrived joke. When I think about the two previous occasions that I heard Jody speak I am reminded of the Helen Keller quote "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." Jody does a fantastic job of sharing his life experiences as a life-long stutter in a humorous and professional manner from the heart. To repeat as my daughter said "he's the REAL DEAL!"

Jody provide a good, wholesome, performance that had all of our employees laughing. Everyone agreed that it was the highlight of our work retreat.

Thank you, Sam! My daughter and I had a wonderful time with y’all!
Jody was speaking to a group of over 100 employees at our office and was able to talk about disability awareness in a way that was inspiring and educational while also being hilarious. We received so much positive feedback including phrases like "I could listen to Jody all day" and "Never thought I could have such a great time while learning." I would recommend Jody for any corporate, private, or non-profit event - he simply does an amazing job at putting it all together and in perspective!!!

Jody delivered a humor-filled message with an incredible story to our staff! From overcoming obstacles to embracing his uniqueness and using it as a gift, he has created incredible experiences for himself. We were immersed into Jody’s world! He made us laugh, cry and think deeply!

Jody was such an amazing artist. His act was perfect for our venue and our clientele. Clean comedy and funny! He engaged with the audience before and during the show and then stuck around to visit with the veterans! He went above and beyond what we hoped for. Great guy! Highly recommend!
Jody showed a couple hours early and hung out with our veterans. Everybody enjoyed him and we would definitely have him back! Thank again Jody!

Had a mutual friend recommend Jody. We’re a small town Mom and Pop brewery and local VFW post. We pride ourselves on being family oriented. This being the first comedian we have hosted, they needed to be the same. Jody was true to his word. He kept it family friendly and had the crowd laughing from start to finish. I throughly enjoyed him reading the letters he was written, by children, while he was deployed. He even took the time after to sit down with our guests and speak with them. Telling us more stories about his service and his life. He’s a super down to earth individual and we would be happy to host him again!
Thank you, Jody!

Thank you so much! I enjoyed being with y’all!
Jody assisted me with a Veterans Comedy Show and he did not disappoint. The audience loved his performance and were smiling ear to ear the whole time he was on stage. If you’re looking for a performer or speaker, you can’t go wrong with Jody.
Mountain Springs Baptist Church has never had a better Fabulous Friday than we did with Jody Fuller, comedian. I have received so many calls stating how much everyone enjoyed him and asked if we could possibly have him come again! You will not go wrong having him as your entertainment at any event! If we were rating him on a scale of 1 being the lowest and 10 the highest he would be a 10+!

Our Kiwanis Club had our annual Steak Auction Dinner where we raise money for our local children's charities.... Jody was asked to come and entertain us for about 30 min or so...And boy did he ever entertain us... His comedy is clean and appropriate for all ages and he had us all laughing and dropping our banana pudding in our laps.... :) I would recommend him for all types of events!!!

Jody Fuller brought just what our VFW Post needed, laughter. Our post hasn't had that much fun in a long time and our Veterans and their families needed just that, laughter. We can't wait to have Jody back.

Jody was a speaker at a wild game supper at my church. He was a funny, entertaining, and a really nice down to earth guy. Everyone who attended had really good things to say about him. Will definitely attend more of his events in the future.

We hosted a comedy night with Jody at my VFW Post 2185. We had 50+ in attendance and we laughed the entire time he was on stage. It was clean, appropriate and he was able to connect with the audience. Our members are still talking about it and cannot wait to have him back.
Stand-Up Comedian
Very professional booking. Was able to accommodate last minute request and he remained flexible with our event day schedule. His performance was funny and he was able to tailor content to the audience.
Jody was the guest speaker recently at our 50th class reunion. He was actually a surprise guest speaker, as only two of us knew he was a comedian. He mingled a bit and talked with people which he added to his routine, making it much more personal. I got to see classmates laugh, and I mean laugh hard, that I knew have had a very hard last two years. If you are looking to uplift a group, I highly recommend Jody Fuller.

Jody has an incredible talent and ability to make people laugh. I have had the pleasure of being in Multiple speaking events with Jody as the headliner. I can’t wait to see what He has in store for 2020.

Our whole event was surrounded around Outreach and reaching our community, and Jody provided us the perfect end, to what was a perfect night. His act was super clean and provided us with reminders of Jesus and the gospel, and how we can impact others. So thankful Jody and I could connect through God and provide this entertainment.
I have had the pleasure of attending 2 of Mr. Fuller's events with the last event being 12/3/19. He did an excellent job and very funny. His material was funny but clean Christian content. I really enjoyed his shows.

WFD had its first annual Service Awards Dinner this past Saturday night. Since we were green at preparing for an event of this nature, we weren't sure how to go about the planning details. We realized at the beginning of the week of our dinner, that we had not scheduled any entertainment, so we began looking online. We found Gig Salad and saw Jody Fuller's bio. We loved that he was a veteran and that he covered safety in some of his material, so we reached out to see if he was available. Jody came through for us, even with the short notice. He was professional and kind, punctual and extremely likeable! He communicated with me from the very beginning of the process, which helped me get through the night. His performance was completely in line to what we were looking for. There wasn't any filthy language and he was very funny! The crowd loved him! We appreciate him and appreciate Gig Salad for hooking us up with him.
Jody did a great job at our September safety meeting. He was funny and was able to connect to a diverse crowd, while he delivered a message about safety. He performed for two different group at two different locations and both enjoyed his humor and message. This was the first time we used humor to deliver a message of safety and it was an success. I would recommend Jody for any event and he has my highest recommendation.
Thanks

Jody was absolutely wonderful. We had around 70 people, and he did an outstanding job of entertaining us. He was hilariously funny, on time, dressed impeccably, and talked to everyone like we had all been friends forever. Such a nice man. Everyone had a good time, and some really good laughs, which we all needed.

About
Jody Fuller is a father, comic, speaker, writer, and soldier, who served three tours of duty in Iraq. He is a lifetime stutterer and a certified John Maxwell Leadership Speaker. Recently, he was named one of the "Top 40 0ver 40" in Alabama Magazine and southernthing named him as one of "15 Southern stand-up comedians that will make you laugh 'til you cry."
Growing up in Opelika, AL Jody had to overcome two things: being poor and stuttering. Enlisting in the Army after high school helped him overcome the income challenges but the stuttering still poses daily challenges. After a 4 year stint as an Army medic, he returned home to attend college at Auburn University at Montgomery where he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration.
After 9/11, Jody returned to the Army via Officer Candidate School (OCS) at Ft. Benning, GA. In November 2003, he deployed to Iraq for one year as a platoon leader of the third largest platoon in the United States Army with the 296th Brigade Support Battalion of the Army’s First Stryker Brigade.
In 2006, Jody left the active component of the Army to join the Alabama National Guard, and in 2014 transferred to the Reserves where he was promoted to the rank of Major.
When not in uniform, Jody travels the country speaking to and/or entertaining a wide variety of groups ranging from the Boys and Girls Club of America to the Department of Veterans Affairs to comedy clubs, civic clubs, and corporate America. He's worked with some of the biggest names in comedy.
Whether he's talking about growing up poor, the military, or stuttering, his show ultimately details his adapt and overcome attitude and will leave you not only in stitches but also inspired.
He has also been published 11 times in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.
Jody enjoys meeting new people, traveling, and eating at mom and pop restaurants across the land. He currently lives in Opelika, Alabama.
