Tracy DeGraaf Biography

Referred to as one of Chicago’s best clean female comedians and speakers, Tracy DeGraaf has made a name for herself with her one-woman comedy show “Life Happens Laugh Anyway.”

Rebellious Magazine said DeGraaf has the “presence of a motivational speaker and the uplifting message of a preacher. Her everyday experiences resonate with fans who can be seen nodding along with punchline after punchline.”

DeGraaf pulls material from her experiences as a middle-aged woman, wife, mother of five sons and breast cancer survivor. She’s the perfect fit for Girls Night Out, Date Night, Women’s Conferences, Fundraisers, Corporate, Non-profit and Breast Cancer Awareness Events.

DeGraaf is the author of "Laugh Anyway Mom" and co-host of the "Life Happens Laugh Anyway" weekly podcast. She was trained for comedy at The Second City in Chicago. She is happily married to her husband, Ron (a.k.a. Muffin) since 1989 and they live in the Chicago area where they are now empty nesters. She travels nationwide.

Tracy DeGraaf Speaking Topics

  • Life Happens Laugh Anyway

    Tracy DeGraaf has been performing her 100% squeaky clean comedy one-woman show “Life Happens Laugh Anyway” in faith-based venues, churches, non-profit organizations, hospitals, and corporations for well over a decade. She takes audiences through the seasons of her life from getting married and having children to gaining weight and growing a beard. And then, hits them with inspiration.

    Attendee results:

    • Ladies Night Out events give women an opportunity to LOL with moms, sisters, friends, and coworkers.

    • Date Night events create the perfect opportunity for couples to enjoy a night of laughter and see themselves in Tracy’s relatable stories.

    • Fundraiser events give attendees a chance to LOL with Tracy while supporting their favorite non-profit organizations.

    • Outreach events give organizations an opportunity to invite the surrounding community to laugh and hear more about their mission.

    • Corporate events give leadership a chance to treat the whole organization to the stress relief of laughter trading stress for euphoria.

  • Survivor Event: Cancer Happens Laugh Anyway

    It’s not easy being labeled a “cancer survivor,” but it beats the alternative. Survivors have unique super powers. They walk a road no one would choose, but they go down it just the same. Cancer survivors have faced their own mortality. They’ve endured, overcome, and in many cases, they just keep going. Celebrating that kind of power ignites palpable energy!

    Attendee Results:

    • Hear multiple sidesplitting true survival stories from Tracy’s life, cancer journey, and book Laugh Anyway Mom.

    • Inspired to find humor in everyday life as Tracy shares from her own life struggles raising five sons, juggling laundry for a family of seven for decades, and navigating the normal process of aging.

    • Be reminded that everyday holds its own reason to be grateful. Appreciate the funny side of when things get hard (like when the “c” word enters your vocabulary).

    • Be ordained as cancer screening ambassadors with permission to hound, nag, and educate their family and friends with the huge benefits of evicting cancer ASAP.

    • Leave with less cortisol in their blood and more oxytocin in their brains as the natural result of human laughter.
