Clean Comedian for Women's Night Out
Engineer turned comedienne, Amy Barnes, started her career as a stand-up comedian in Seattle, appearing at comedy clubs around town while working days as an engineer in aerospace. It wasn’t long before she had to choose between the two career paths and, in a striking blow to the Girls In STEM Movement, she chose comedy.
After moving to Los Angeles, she began working as a comedy writer, writing for dozens of comedians and actors including Nancy Travis, Bonnie Hunt, Jack Black, and Morgan Freeman. She has appeared on Comedy Central and the National Lampoon Network. Amy is now a nationally touring act with over 60 dates a year and frequently appears to capacity crowds at theaters, churches, and conference events.
Married since 2002 to comedian and writer, Jerry Miner, Amy and their two kids now reside in the Pacific Northwest where she has accumulated some even bigger credits including dance mom, YMCA member, and PTA President.
Most importantly, she has a heart for women and is like no other stand-up comedian you have seen. She has a special way of connecting with women and is accessible to women of all ages and stages of life.
