Keynote Speaker, Humorist & Breast Cancer Survivor – Diana Jordan

Keynote speaker and veteran stand-up comedienne, Diana Jordan has been entertaining audiences for over twenty years.

In 2010, Diana was diagnosed with breast cancer- and underwent a mastectomy. She had breast cancer reconstruction surgery-,going a cup size bigger – okay, two cup sizes bigger (still tasteful!) and when asked at the airport if she was prepared to sit in the emergency row of the airplane Diana quipped, “Don’t worry, I AM the flotation device!” Diana is a living testament to how her sense of humor got her through the difficult times.

Diana has been nominated by the American Comedy Awards as one of the Top Five Female Comedians in the country. She was featured in the HBO special “Women of the Night” which spotlighted five top female comedians and also has two feature film roles to her credit including a performance in Sony’s blockbuster hit “Jerry Maguire” with Tom Cruise and a co-starring credit in the independent film “Loretta’s Surprise” that was featured in the Sundance Film Festival. Diana has been a featured performer on such notable television and radio shows as Oprah, Dr Phil, HBO, Showtime, The Bob & Tom Radio Show, and performed at such legendary venues including Radio City Music Hall and The Kennedy Center. Diana has also been Master of Ceremonies for many gala events where she presented such prestigious speakers as Former Secretary of State, General Colin Powell and Yolanda King
