Referred to as one of Chicago’s best clean female comedians and speakers, Tracy DeGraaf has made a name for herself with her one-woman comedy show “Life Happens Laugh Anyway.”

Rebellious Magazine said DeGraaf has the “presence of a motivational speaker and the uplifting message of a preacher. Her everyday experiences resonate with fans who can be seen nodding along with punchline after punchline.”

DeGraaf pulls material from her experiences as a middle-aged woman, wife, mother of five sons and breast cancer survivor. She’s the perfect fit for Girls Night Out, Date Night, Women’s Conferences, Fundraisers, Corporate, Non-profit and Breast Cancer Awareness Events.

DeGraaf is the author of Laugh Anyway Mom and co-host of the Life Happens Laugh Anyway weekly podcast. She was trained for comedy at The Second City in Chicago. She is happily married to her husband, Ron (a.k.a. Muffin) since 1989 and they live in the Chicago area where they are now empty nesters. She travels nationwide.
