Jane Condon

Jane Condon, comedian and entertainer. Jane Condon is a comedian and mother who lives in the very upscale town of Greenwich, Connecticut.  She is still a very nice person.  Even though she makes fun of Greenwich (she grew up in blue-collar Brockton, MA), the real inspiration for her comedy is her family, which consists of a husband and two teen-aged boys.  There is plenty of good material to be found there!

In 2001, Jane was named one of Comedy Best Bets: One of 10 Standout Standups Worth Watching by Back Stage Magazine.  She has also appeared on The View (ABC), The Today Show (NBC) and Girls’ Night Out (Lifetime).  She also won the 2004 Ladies of Laughter Contest (1st among 108 comics).        

Jane is multi-talented as might be expected from a person who earned a B.A. in Political Science from Wellesley College and an Ed.M. in Children’s Television from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education.

She is conversational in French and Japanese, and is a member of the New York Friars Club.  Jane has been a reporter for LIFE Magazine and FORTUNE.   As an author, she has written one book, A Half-Step Behind, Japanese Women Today.  She has even been a creative consultant for a TV pilot produced by the industry giant, Linda Bloodworth-Thomason.

Jane performs at many of the top comedy clubs in the country including Gotham Comedy Club, Carolines On Broadway, New York Comedy Club, Stand-Up NY, Punchline (San Francisco), The Improv (Washington, DC), and The Borgata (Atlantic City).

In addition, she has done many special concerts (many are benefit performances) including  Renaissance Weekend (entertaining President Clinton), Stop Teenage Tobacco, The Menlo School (CA), Boy Scouts of America, Parkway School, Literacy Volunteers, League of Women Voters, American Red Cross, Harvard Club of NYC, Sotheby’s Realty, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids and as an opening act for Roberta Flack.                                                             

Jane Condon is available for concerts, extended stays and academic residencies through the MasterMedia Speakers Bureau.  A video demo is available by request.
