Humor Writer of the Month: Jane Condon
Comedian and mom Jane Condon lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, but she’s still a nice person. She has two boys. Otherwise everything’s fine.
The Associated Press has dubbed her “an uppercrust Roseanne,” and The New York Times says, “Condon had the audience cackling, guffawing and in hysterics as she sliced through marriage, husband, kids, politics and other topics.”
She’s published a cartoon book, Chardonnay Moms, with Bobbi Eggers, and in an earlier life “wrote less-than-humorous” pieces as a reporter at Fortune and Life magazines. She’s also been published in The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal Asia and Time International. In addition, she’s written and given three “somewhat humorous” commencement speeches.
Her comedic writing style? “All good comedy starts with good writing. I do most of my humor writing on my Instagram reels because it’s a great way to try out new material,” she says. “Then I condense it for my standup act.”
Condon was named to Backstage magazine’s list “10 Comedy Best Bets” and has appeared on ABC's The View; Lifetime's Girls’ Night Out; FOX's series finale of 24; Nickelodeon’s NickMom Night Out; NBC’s Last Comic Standing; and Today.
She was a grand prize winner of the nationwide Ladies of Laughter Contest.
