From farm fields to fame, Jane Jenkins Herlong is a Sirius XM Humorist and international best-selling author. Alongside Jeff Foxworthy, Ray Romano, and Jerry Seinfeld, her comedy is known far and wide.
Not just a funny lady, Herlong is also an award-winning author. She's churned out five award-winning books, each one more Southern-fried than the last. Her latest gem, "Sweet Tea Secrets from the Deep-Fried South," is on the shelves of Cracker Barrel nationwide and is being optioned for an upcoming film.
In speaking, Herlong holds a place in the Speaker Hall of Fame, next to Ronald Reagan and the late General Colin L. Powell. She also earned the title of Certified Speaking Professional and recently was inducted into the Legends of Speaking in Washington D.C.
Herlong faced her share of "You can't do thats" in her life, thanks to the dyslexic label stamped on her early on. But she just laughed, probably snorted, and transformed every "NO" into a "NEXT." You see, Herlong believes that humor is the WD-40 of life—it makes everything run more smoothly. Herlong shows crowds how to wrestle stress to the ground, and then high-five it out the door—all with a grin and a "watch me" attitude.
Her vocal and humor talents earned her features on Sirius XM, Pandora, Spotify, and Amazon. She speaks in four languages: English, Southern, Northern, and Lowcountry Gullah (gul-la).
Herlong journeyed from the rows of her family’s Lowcountry tomato farm to the runway of the Miss America Pageant and then to Radio City Music Hall. She finished college with top honors and attended graduate school. Her message helps people change "NOs" into "NEXTs," one laugh at a time.
Whether sharing wisdom or humor, Jane Jenkins Herlong is an act you won't want to miss.

Don’t Throw Tomatoes at My Field of Dreams!
Harvest a bumper crop of life lessons and laughter as Jane delivers stories of success and hard lessons learned while working in her father’s tomato fields as a young girl. Discover how to find your own SHINE and PLOW through when your basket breaks with a perspective only a farm girl can deliver. Jane will fill your bucket with down-home stories that will make you laugh, but there is an underlying lesson of how to increase peak performance and for your ultimate harvest to grow personally and professionally.
You Can’t Put High Heels on a Holstein
Step into her hilarious world of big hair, plumped lips, and fashion-covered cat fights. From Betty Maple, who never met an injection she didn’t like, to Coleen Beauregard, who, bless her heart, should have re-thought a singing career, to Miss Sara Dean Jean Smith, who wants to change the world through breast awareness, you’ll meet the women who defined the world of Southern Beauty.
Beneath the laughter is a poignant message that runs deeper than the back-stage competitors. As you tumble through Jane’s back-stage antics, you find yourself standing in the moments of your own life: seeing your challenges in a whole new way, getting a fresh perspective on an old problem, and realizing that it’s never too late to find your way back to the spotlight because back stage wisdom is more than skin deep.
Find the Funny in Dysfunction
Through her own dysfunctional states in life, Jane empowers you to say “NO” to stress and “YES” to success. It is then you will find the “Funny in Dysfunction” to be able to function stress-free and laugh all the way to being your personal best!
