Biography

In today’s fast-moving business world, attention is short, trust is fragile, and most presentations fall flat. Beth Sherman teaches professionals how to use humour—not simply for laughs, but for connection, persuasion, and impact. She translates the tools of comedy into actionable strategies that help teams engage audiences, pitch with personality, and lead with authenticity.

Beth has 30 years of experience as a stand-up comedian, performing on stages everywhere from Las Vegas to Iraq, and she’s a seven-time Emmy Award-winning comedy writer, with writing credits that include The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Ellen, and the Academy Awards, where she’s written funny and engaging content for A-listers like Tom Hanks, Helen Mirren, and Queen Latifah.

Now Beth brings her vast creative experience to the business stage – delivering high-energy keynotes and masterclasses packed with laughter, insight and practical strategies. With a topic and style that draws delegates to the room and adds life to dry conferences, her talks equip audiences with a humour toolkit they can use to build rapport, diffuse tension, and communicate with clarity and confidence.

Whether she’s working with sales teams, senior leaders or speakers, Beth helps people unlock their human advantage in a world increasingly dominated by AI and automation.

“Beth explored the powerful role of humour in creating genuine connections, building trust, and driving engagement. She also looked at the critical topic of when people say things that aren’t funny in work situations. Her guidance on recognising those moments and setting boundaries was both insightful and empowering.The feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting Beth’s talk as one of the most memorable and impactful moments of the conference.” Claire Ebrey, Founder, Pride In Leadership Conference

“Despite being the final session of our conference and conflicting with an England match in the Euros, Beth's content and delivery attracted a full house and kept our delegates fully-engaged throughout.” Samme Allen, Knowledge Director, The Meetings Show

“If you are looking for an inspirational, authentic, and funny keynote, look no further than Beth Sherman.” Phil Willott, Director of Education, Raleigh Educational Trust

“Her unique approach to blending humour with leadership development resonated deeply with the audience.” Maka Quparadze, Chief Marketing Officer, BOC Global Events & Training Group
