About Us

Jennifer Mason Comedy can provide you a healing dose of humors!

Jennifer Mason

I’m a Berkeley-educated licensed acupuncturist who needed to become braver and in the process, accidentally became an award-winning stand-up comedian.

As a shy person going through an unexpected divorce, I found that working the terrifying edge of vulnerability and authenticity led to greater confidence, courage, and fun.

Now I help coaches and people who need to speak for a living find ease and flow by learning “the twist” — how to turn bad days into good jokes.

In the process of finding my voice as a 50-something divorced mom of two, I found unexpected freedom and joy through doing comedy. I perform monthly and coach other midlife women to overcome stage fright through the techniques of stand-up comedy so they can become confident and memorable speakers in a supportive group program.

I also help speakers who want to level up their talks, focus their message, and shape it into succinct stories with punchlines.

Testimonials

Our Students Love Us

"Stand up for Scaredy Cats with Jennifer Mason has been like the opening of a door that was cracked just enough to see down the hall, but too scared to enter. She really helped kick that door wide open and knocked it off its hinges. By creating a supportive environment and offering constructive feedback. Then giving us a final show that really displayed how far we had all come working with Jen. And if that is not enough, she introduced to others that could help us move further into the direction of our goals. Big thanks!"

Keith Duell

"Feeling like your life needs a kick in the butt? Well, I recommend doing something outside of your comfort zone yet in a safe space with wildly supportive people who want you to succeed. That’s what Stand Up for Scaredy Cats was for me. I plunged myself into a group of strangers and learned how to turn the craziness of my life into jokes that can bring others a moment of levity and connection. Taking Jennifer Mason‘s class opened up a whole new world for me that I didn’t know was possible!"

Rich Oceguera

"I've only known you for about a year and most of that on a screen. I can only say I am so grateful I sat with you that one morning at breakfast and took a chance with you to find my funny. What a gift you are to the world!!"
