  • About

    Stacy Pederson is an innovator. She’s also a complete failure. After failing in every conceivable way, Stacy chose to reinvent her life. She is now a sought-after Speaker/Clean Comedian who gives audiences fun—yet practical—advice on overcoming stress, innovation, and living a life that matters.

    Theater-Based Performance Education
    Stacy Pederson holds a BFA in Theatre and has performed stage, film, commercial, standup comedy, and radio work.  She is the co-founder of The Academy of Children’s Theatre, (ACT) in Colorado Springs, as well as Ministry Center for the Arts, (MCA).

    Award-Winning Style of Comedy and Speaking
    Stacy’s humor is witty, creative, clean, professional, and enjoyable for all ages. She recently won first place out of comedians in “Colorado’s Got Talent” in 2013 and took second place in the overall competition.

    Interwoven Storytelling and Stand-up
    Stacy Pederson’s standup comedy and outlook on life began with a diagnosis of a terminal illness with her first husband. Stacy began a difficult journey fraught with failure—including a failed marriage, single parenting, job loss, broken dreams, and financial ruin.

    Then in July of 2011, Stacy stepped on a rusty nail while building a set for a kid’s musical theatre camp. The simple misstep caused several bouts in the hospital, near death experiences, and surgery with lifelong repercussions. Stacy now has a deep understanding of the universal need we all have for hope, love, joy, and laughter. She uses her perspective to add depth and inspiration to her performances.

    Stacy is now married to the love of her life and best friend, Jeff Pederson, and is the mother of several amazing children. They reside in the Colorado Springs, Colorado area. Stacy understands firsthand the power of pain, hope, fear, failure, laughter, legacy and future/forward thinking. She loves sharing her lessons with others.

    “Can I just say that the one event I attended where Stacy Pederson was the key note speaker was AMAZING! She was hilariously funny and poignantly real and deeply touching! I have literally been thinking about the things she spoke about for an entire year!! If you are thinking about hiring her- quit thinking and just do it! You will not regret it! (And by the way, she probably has zero idea of who I am, what event I attended or why the heck I am even writing this. Basically, I am just a person who was blessed by her words and her authenticity. I am not paid or even asked to write a single word of this.- She is just that good!)”
