About
Simply Shirley is an "old school" comedienne who is making her presence known nationwide. She considers herself to be an eight track gal in an IPOD world; and says her inner child is now outward bound. In other words, there's still a whole lot of "jelly left in her roll". After retiring from working for the federal government, she decided to reinvent herself and pursue comedy as a second career. She is a graduate of the Matt Kazam School of Comedy at the DC Improv Comedy Club.
Using her unique comedic style, Simply Shirley spreads joy and laughter from churches to comedy clubs. She has been performing for audiences young and old - - especially striking a cord with the ones in the middle. Her comedy is rated "E" for everyone. She also performs at fundraisers, women's events, birthday/anniversary celebrations, family reunions, senior events, spoken word showcases, and corporate and political events.
Simply Shirley declares comedy is her ministry, and has found that the everyday moments of life make for the best comedy. She says: "Sometimes all you have to do is tell what happened because life and the lives of the people around you are routines waiting to be performed."
Simply Shirley is a member of The Christian Comedy Association (CCA).
Proverbs 17:22 says, "A merry heart is good medicine……" and Simply Shirley does her best to take the stuff of life, turn it into a dose of good medicine and make 'em laugh.

"What a true delight. So very accommodating and easy to work with -- no request was too large or too small. Would definitely recommend Simply Shirley for good no-nonsense comedy for a diverse business environment. Our group loved having her here, and she obviously paid attention to the type occasion and tailored some of her jokes specifically to us. Excellent job. "

"Shirley showed up early and was ready to go at the time stated. She was very professional starting from the way they carried themselves to how conducted their business. She really made me feel welcomed by seeking me out (the host) to let me know she arrived with a warm hug.
Their sense of timing for the appropriateness of the moment can only be equaled by her unique ability to connect with her audience and provide a quality and memorable experience.
They truly provide a 5 star customer experience.
I will use Simply Shirley again and give her the highest of recommendations. Anyone looking for a comedian and/or host services look no further. "

"Simply Shirley to me is one "Simply Dynamic Funny Person". She truly was well received by the entire group. I was a little concerned for some of my church members, including my Pastor, because I thought they were going to fall out of their seats from laughing so hard. We look forward to hearing from her again in the near future."

"She came in and immediately she was one of us: friendly, approachable, graciously professional lady. She felt her audience and delivered appropriately and they responded enthusiciasticly.
she was funny! the life of the party! We were all reminiscing of her jokes the next day and to those that missed the event.
Truely, she would be invited again, this is my first time I have ever done something like this, and you betcha, with her, I'll do it again.
This was a group of church women and when you find a gem, you want to keep it."
