Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer, and soldier, who served three tours of duty in Iraq. He is a lifetime stutterer and a member of the National Speakers Association. In 2018, he was named one of the "Top 40 0ver 40" in Alabama Magazine and southernthing.com named him as one of "15 Southern stand-up comedians that will make you laugh 'til you cry."

​

Growing up in Opelika, AL Jody had to overcome two things: being poor and stuttering. Enlisting in the Army after high school helped him overcome the income challenges but the stuttering still poses daily challenges. After a 4 year stint as an Army medic, he returned home to attend college at Auburn University at Montgomery where he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration.

After 9/11, Jody returned to the Army via Officer Candidate School (OCS) at Ft. Benning, GA. In November 2003, he deployed to Iraq for one year as a platoon leader of the third largest platoon in the United States Army with the 296th Brigade Support Battalion of the Army’s First Stryker Brigade.

In 2006, Jody left the active component of the Army to join the Alabama National Guard, and in 2014 transferred to the Reserves where he was promoted to the rank of Major.

​

When not in uniform, Jody travels the country speaking to and/or entertaining a wide variety of groups ranging from the Boys and Girls Club of America to the Department of Veterans Affairs to comedy clubs, civic clubs, and corporate America. He's worked with some of the biggest names in comedy.

​

Whether he's talking about growing up poor, the military, or stuttering, his show ultimately details his adapt and overcome attitude and will leave you not only in stitches but also inspired.

He has also been published 10 times in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.

Jody enjoys meeting new people, traveling, and eating at mom and pop restaurants across the land. He currently lives in Opelika, Alabama.”
