Clean Female comedian with a bit of an edge. I'm a wife, mom, school teacher and breast cancer survivor.
Joy arrived early , and had the best energy ever! My family & friends laughed from beginning to end. She was very relatable & hilarious. I will definitely be booking her for future events, and sending others her way.
Thank you so much, Joy!

Response from The Chesapeake Charmer:
Thank you, Floretta! I had a great time with you, the birthday girl, and the other ladies.
Joy was a "joy" to coordinate with! She was prompt and professional from the very instance I contacted her until performing at our party. Everyone enjoyed the family-friendly humor and she even took time to visit and mingle with guests. Highly recommended for your event!
Response from The Chesapeake Charmer:
Thank you, Daniel!
The charmer was excellent. Great delivery and she received many appreciative comments from the guests. I would recommend her for any of your gatherings or fund raisers!
Response from The Chesapeake Charmer:
Thank you, Mr. Kern. I enjoyed being at your event! The food was delicious too! I’m glad everyone had a good time.
Engaging, personable, funny ! Joy told stories that were instantly relatable to an audience of retired educators and she delivered the perfect dessert course to our
Not Back To School Luncheon. I first caught Joy’s set at Virginia Beach Funny Bone 5 years ago and thought way back then she’d be a good fit for our event.... And I was right.
Her name says it all.. she’s an absolute JOY.
Thanks GiG-Salad! You’ve got amazing talent in your roster in The Chesapeake Charmer.

Joy's style of comedy is clean with a bit of an edge. She performs well for mixed audiences: churches, clubs, black, white, male, and of course female. Joy shares her stories of marriage, family, teaching, and surviving breast cancer.
Joy always wanted to try stand-up comedy, but instead pursued a career in education; first as a high school English teacher and then as a librarian. However, one day, Joy had a slight interruption. In 2008, Joy was diagnosed with Stage 1 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. She decided to start crossing items off of her “bucket list”. A friend enrolled her in a stand-up comedy class, and the rest as they say is history. Joy now performs for clubs and fundraisers all over the Hampton Roads area. She loves telling her story through humor.
All I need is a working mic, speakers, and stage lighting, like a spotlight. But, champions adjust; I'm flexible.
