With Cubicle Comedy From A Working Lady
Jan Mcinnis brings to the stage clean, insightful, and original humor appropriate for company conventions, awards banquets, holiday celebrations, and other professional events. A product of the 9 to 5 corporate world, Jan uses her 15 years in marketing to poke tasteful fun at the day-to-day procedures, politics and policies that are rife in the office environment. Her experience in the corporate environment helps her relate well to employees at all levels of the company, and she bridges the gap between club comic and convention speaker.
"At my last company, we worked in cubicles.
Moveable walls made out of that nerf ball material.
Yeah, nothing says job security like an office
that can be taken apart by a first-grader!"

"We went from D.C. to California with the windows rolled up and
dad smoking 4 packs a day. We got out of the car in LA,
our first thought was . . . clean air!"
