Kerri, you did an absolutely wonderful job and soooo many people came up to me afterwards and have e-mailed me saying what a great time they had and how GREAT you were!!! You also gave such a great message that day...I noticed several people had tears in their eyes including myself. You were such a blessing to us, our organization and everyone there. So thank you and I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Please continue to inspire and entertain others as you did for us. We would love to have you and your husband at one of our future events.

Kerri Pomarolli was a rare treat at our company event. She wowed us with her flare for the "funny" and a great time was had by all. She was my favorite part of the celebration.
Rusty Russtucia
Human Resources Director Ford Motor Company - Detroit, MI
I've heard "Christian comedians". And, often I've not laughed. At all. Kerri and Ron are a refreshing surprise!
They see themselves as comedians who are also Christians, rather than Christian comedians. They deliver the laughs —
about real stuff that everyone thinks about... relationships, image, dating, marriage, responsibility — real life stuff.
Our church was encouraged and challenged by their humor and their faith in Jesus Christ. And we laughed really hard!
Mark Waltz, Pastor of Connections

Thank you so much for blessing us at our annual "Celebration of Life" fundraising banquet.
I have had so many compliments about the entertainment. Truly the funnest night we have had
in Roswell for some time. Laughter is absolutely good medicine and we were all inoculated.
I would highly recommend pregnancy centers to book you for their events. When people are happy
they are much more likely to open their wallets! Thank you again and we would love to have
you back any time!

Kerri Pomarolli is one hilarious chick! She is inspiring and encouraging. The
Big Apple audience loved her!

Kerri Pomarolli crossed color line barriers, by not performing for whites, but going
out to Gospel churches, and performing with some of the A-list headliners such as Sherri
Shepherd, and Bone Hampton, (formerly known as Comedian Bone).
Her comedy was on point, that it didn't matter where you came from or where you at,
if there was blood pumping thru your veins, and she was on stage, there was laughter pumping
from your heart, because that is the place she hit.
Comics4Christ
Your act was so fine tuned as well as hilariously funny,
but I think the best part of your act was the way that you used
stand-up as a witnessing tool. That blew me away. You just out
and out witnessed to that guy in the front row. You present
the gospel in a non-threatening, non-abrasive way and everyone
who watches your act gets ministered to, whether they realize
what is happening or not. God has truly blessed you with the
gift of stage-presence and the ability to make people laugh.
And I am so glad that you are using your God-given talents and
gifts for His purpose. …If I ever have need for an event
or a church fellowship meeting, I will definitely be contacting
you.

Hilarious, funny and unforgettable—her refreshing
routines hit Christians where they live, without resorting to
clichés or stereotypes. Her unique blend of humor touches
all audiences, and in doing so, doubles as a ministry.

Director of the Angelus Awards Film Festival
Kerri Pomarolli was a hit as our headliner at our
comedy club. She not only has a stage presence that is
entrancing, but she is a great person as well. We enjoyed
meeting her and were blessed by her performance.

Humor is the best way to keep the show rolling, and yours was
right ontarget with your insights on the challenges we face in
relationships.
Leslee Unruh,
President and Founder of the Abstinence Clearinghouse
She's clean, she's bright, she's funny, she's (pardon me, we
can't help it) too cute for words! She's the girl you'd want for
a daughter, the big sister you wish your teenager had to look
up to. How does she thrive in the not-too-nice world of comedy
professionals? Somebody up there likes her. So do we!

Kerri Pomarolli? She's short, but she really
grows on you!! She's a real pro and I loved working
with her. Delivering her funny stuff while handling the
host duties to keep a show like the Dove Awards moving, is
difficult. She had me at "and the Dove Award goes
to..." Thanks!
Steve Gilreath - Producer/Director
2006 Gospel Music Awards
Kerri takes her light-hearted approach to singleness and
applies its lessons in a fresh and relevant way to the will of
God for the hearts, minds and love lives of the contemporary
Christians. Funny, hopefull and poignant, Kerri's testimony reminds
us that our foibles and trials are God's reminders that He's
with us through thick and thin, and does fulfill our prayers
in ways far better than we dare imagine.
Nicole Mortillito
After Eve Conference, Washington, DC
I attended Kerri Pomarolli"s breakout session at McLean"s
After Eve young women"s conference in Fall of 2005. I
will always remember her testimony about dating as a Christian
woman as one of the most influential messages I ever heard. She
has the uncanny ability to speak what so many women have said
in their hearts in a way that is both heartfelt and hilarious. In
a generation of girls who are trying to figure out how their
lives fit into the mold of Biblical womanhood, Kerri"s
message is so relevant. Every woman in that room knew what
it was like to want to be married, to keep looking for the guy
God had chosen for her, and to wonder what she was missing. Kerri"s
words took us to those moments where it"s just you and
God, and you must be completely honest with yourself about whom
you have become and whom you are searching for. Her story
was about making mistakes, and learning lessons, and growing,
and falling in love – and learning that God really does
have a sense of humor. She showed us that trusting in God
leads you to places far better than the places you are afraid
to leave. Kerri was honest and real about the struggles God takes
you through to get there. But in the end, becoming the woman
God intends for you to be allows you to see the person you"re
supposed to be with. I left her discussion session filled
with conviction and hope that God still had a plan for me no
matter where I had been. I would highly recommend her to
any church or organization!

Kerri Pomarolli was not only funny but real. She touched hearts and made each woman feel like her best girlfriend. What a gal to giggle with. Her passion for Christ shines through and is seen by everyone in her midst. I pray she continues to be the light in what can be a very dark world.
Tracy Williams
Grace Church - Bath, OH
Kerri does a masterful job of connecting to her audience. Women from all seasons of life roar with laughter with her. She effortlessly transitions between pure comedy and inspiring, thought provoking insights. She weaves the message of God's love and grace between bouts of laughter. With a vulnerable, non-threatening, authentic style, Kerri shares her journey and portrays a genuine heart for her listeners.
Heidi Bogue
Girlfriends At Grace Director - Grace Church, Ohio
Be ready for a side ache for two days after you hear Kerri Pomarolli. I was tempted to roll in the aisle,
but I didn’t want to miss the next one liner! The best part was the winsome way that Kerri let people know
about Jesus. She made us laugh, told us what God had done for her and what He wanted to do for us. Kerri
gave one of the clearest presentations of the gospel that I have ever heard. Then she made us laugh again!
We had a very fun and very purposeful evening.
Thanks again, Kerri — It was super to partner with you.
Valerie Gallaher
Women's Ministry Director
Sunridge Community Church-Temecula CA
Kerri fit right in with our ladies. This is special because our ladies' age
range is from 16-90+. More importantly, Kerri has a wonderful testimony
that touches the lives of mothers and daughters. Ladies from across our
state are still talking about her comedy act. She had us rolling! It was
truly an honor and pleasure to have her at our Women's Retreat.
Kerri and Ron together are a sight to behold. They compliment each other on
all levels, especially spiritually. I would recommend Kerri and Ron for any
event that you are planning for your organization, church, etc. You cannot
go wrong with Ron and Kerri.
Melissa Riordan — Secretary to Divisional Secretary of Women's
Ministries for the Florida Division USS Salvation Army
Kerri, thank you for coming to our retreat and blessing us with your wild and crazy but
highly insightful thoughts on life. You knock down the odd doors of reality with your
flexible kickspeed humor. You tear up the crowd with rip-splitting, wiggle-wacking diddies.
We are still laughing.
Tish Whitney — Womens Ministry Coordinator
Darian, Conneticut — Norton Presbyterian Church
Kerri was brilliantly funny! She kept us laughing from start to finish,
but more importantly she was such an encouragement of how God can do amazing things
with our lives if we will just let him have control. As if that wasn't enough, she was
extremely personable. She enjoyed meeting the people, visiting with them, and she even
offered to help on our prayer team. Wow! It has been about three weeks since our event
and people still stop me at the grocery store to tell me how much they enjoyed the
entire evening! Praise God and thank you, Kerri, for being such a valuable instrument
of the Lord!
Veronica Vogle — Daughters of Virtue
Kansas
Kerri left 350 ladies ecstatic and encouraged. Some of our would-be
prodigals found themselves in Proverbs 32 instead! In the midst of all
the laughter, our ladies learned that God knows who we are, meets us
where we are, and gives grace to smile their way through each day.
Mike Rumsey, Executive Pastor — Bethel Baptist

Funny, entertaining, hilarious and completely charming,
those are just a few of the adjectives used to describe Kerri
Pomarolli, our guest comedian for our annual "Chicks on the
Pond" event. She had everyone in attendance in unified laughter
on funny subjects from A to Z. Even in the midst of major technical
difficulties—like no lights—she kept them coming fast
and funny. We love Kerri!
Michelle Hernandez
Manteca Community Church, CA
What a joy it was to have Kerri Pomarolli as our guest at "Girlville!" Besides being cute as a button, she is hilarious, hip and happening. I knew the first time I spoke to her that she would be a blessing with loads of humor.
Kerri"s performance was one of the funniest I"ve seen and as I looked around the auditorium, I saw the young and the old nearly rolling in the aisles.
Her story about wifely submission was something many of the younger gals (and some of us older ones too) could well relate to. In her second session with us, Kerri recounted her testimony – but believe me when I tell you that the girl cannot help but be funny, even when the subject is most serious. Her walk with Christ is evident and she has a depth of commitment and knowledge that is rarely seen. She was truly a delight and the happiness she expressed in the Jesus she worships is amazing. I would recommend her to anyone in any church setting. She is absolutely charming both as a person and a performer.

We had record attendence for Ms Pomarolli's performance. They
were truly entertained and blessed. Many wanted the evening to
last and one woman who rarely attends church said, "When
can we do this again?" Kerri Pomarolli is a draw across the board
to women, old and young, saved and unsaved.

50 Revolutionaries.
Kerri Pomarolli is a talented performer with
an energy and fun personality that makes her performances engaging.
Her comedy reflects her unique ability to laugh at herself
and the craziness that has been her life. But to think of her
in terms of a revolutionary is easy and can be summed up in one
word, Faith. You may be wondering how can faith set this girl
apart? There are others who have faith just what makes her
faith so different?
In a day and age when most professing Christians
barely look any different then the world Kerri stands out as
a revolutionary of the faith because she is willing to walk
out what she believes. I have known Kerri for more than a year
now and watched her go through some serious personal struggles
that would stop most she clings to the hand of her Lord and presses
on. She understand that what she is doing is so much more than
a career but is in reality a calling from the Lord and she
doesn?t back down in the struggles. She strives to walk out her
faith in all areas of her life. It is so much more than walking
across the welcome mat of her church once or twice a week. Her
trust and faith in God is woven throughout her life. Her hearts
desire is to share her faith and point others the heart of the
Lord she loves. I would say that anyone who is willing to walk
the walk and not just talk the talk is truly a revolutionary.

Book Kerri Pomarolli while you can—she is destined to
be a big star! Kerri had our Christian Single's Golf group
laughing in the isles. Her show was the highlight of an
awesome day of fun and fellowship. We asked Kerri to give
her testimony and she delivered the gospel in a very poignant
and compelling manner. Thank you Kerri for sharing your
gift of joy and laughter!
Cindy Tait
Center for Healthcare Education, Inc. Riverside, CA
Kerri did a fantastic job! We were so blessed to have her.
Everyone was thanking me for booking her! All weekend, people
continued to quote her lines and continued to praise what an awesome
job she did. Everyone had a fantastic time! She kicked
off our new single's ministry with a bang. Most importantly,
her Christian testimony touched many hearts. My friend was
sharing how the guy next to him was inquiring about God and my
friend had the awesome opportunity of sharing his testimony and
the gospel with him. All because of God's work through Kerri.
Thank you!

Kerri was very entertaining; but sobering as well. Her
humorous presentation in the life of a single adult really made
a lot of people reevaluate some of their priorities. She
presented her faith with so much sensitivity; but was yet so
powerful. Kerri had us laughing one minute and praising
the next. She truly embodies the fact that Christians can and
do have fun. In short, she was "pee in your pants funny". I
would recommend her for any event and any age.

Click here to listen to Kerri's testimony and a message to the women
We have received and continue to receive a lot of positive feedback regarding Kerri's comedy and message she gave at our outreach event. She gave 3 performances and there were over 1500 women total in attendance. We thoroughly enjoyed hosting her here - she is real, available and non-pretentious. She let our women hold her baby and interact with both she and her husband Ron. Time was never of the essence for her when she met with and spoke with the women, yet she never ran over her allotted performance time. Below are some of the comments:
- Kerri's performance was enjoyable for ALL ages.
- A young mom in her 20's and an older woman in her 70's both commented that they don't enjoy comedic entertainment, but they both thoroughly enjoyed Kerri. The younger woman said it was an evening she truly needed and she laughed until she cried as did the other young ladies at her table. She also stated that Kerri's humor and life stories were relative to her life; it was like "she was talking directly to me." The older woman said she looked at the other faces of the older women at her table, and knowing the hurts they were going through, she enjoyed seeing them being able to laugh.
- One woman stated that the moment she stepped into the church she felt loved and accepted - from the tables, to the special music, to Kerri's humor. It was exactly what she needed with her hectic daily schedule.
- A few young, single women just enjoyed her humor and loved being a part of the evening. They felt included and enjoyed how her humor touched all age groups.
- We had one woman who after seeing Kerri's promotional video on You Tube decided she wouldn't come to the event. However, she came to photograph the set-up and preparation prior to the event. Our women's ministry director asked her to stay for the performance. After watching the show, her comment was, "I was wrong. Her humor was appropriate to the audience and her message was very good." She not only attended the first night, but came to her second performance as well.
- The women liked the fact that Kerri was real and part of the group! Having hosted other speakers who relish their secure, private areas (i.e., green room and not entering the sanctuary until their stage entrance), we tried to accommodate Kerri in a similar fashion. But, Kerri's heart wanted to be with the women. She wanted to mingle with those who prepared her room, basket of goodies and meals, as well as offer to spend time with those who sat in our stadium seats.
- Her message was very clear and very appropriate for a "level one" outreach event.
- We offer an introductory, follow-up bible study after our outreach events for women who want to come and learn about God, the bible, Jesus, etc. Our coordinator of this bible study stated that this year more than any other previous years where we invited a speaker, Kerri presented a clear gospel message and we had the most women respond to wanting to attend the intro to bible study class.
Spring Outreach Event
West Shore Evangelical Free Church
The women's ministry at West Shore Evangelical Free Church hosts an annual spring outreach event. This year we were interested in hosting a Christian Comedian for our event but I was not sure who that would be. I literally "googled" Women Christian Comedians and your web site came up. After scrolling through the different comedians that you represent, I came upon Kerri Pomarolli. I had never heard of her, but I loved her comedy that I saw on her promotional video. I forwarded it to my boss, Nancy Makowski, Director of Women's Ministry. After speaking with you on the phone to discuss her price and other concerns, we prayed about it and felt led to book Kerri for our event.
I had the opportunity to talk with Kerri on the phone prior to her visit and it was like talking with a friend. She was wonderful! From the moment we picked her and her family up at the airport we got a sense that Kerri was approachable, real and non-pretentious. Her performance met the women where they were at – it was pertinent and all ages enjoyed her humor. She spent quality time with those who worked behind the scenes to put on the event as well as quantity and quality time with those who attended. She was funny, energetic and her message was very clear and appropriate for our outreach event.
I would recommend Kerri without any hesitation or caution. She understands and connects well with her audience and to be with a performer who is real and has now airs about her. Most of all, Kerri does this not so much for personal gain, but to reveal to others that Christ is the reason she performs.

Kerri keeps on getting funnier and funnier, yet deeper and deeper in her message to women. It is clear
that this is a woman who is living from the inside out.

I loved hearing you speak when I was at the Gems conference. I was feeling very
overwhelmed and thinking that I should not be a Gems counselor. But after hearing you speak
I was ready to take what I heard a the conference and teach those girls about the love of
Jesus Christ, that they are special and He loves them just the way they are and where they
are at. Thank you for inspiring me to be a better Christian. I loved your book! Again even
though I'm happily married ,your book had a lot to say to me. Thank you for your honesty and
sharing your life story to me (and all of us who hear you speak). Your book has reminded me
to bring everything to Jesus and to always count on Him. I have known that all of my life
but after hearing you speak and reading your book it really hit home. I need to bring it
All to Him. It must be a God thing. Again Thank You Thank You Thank You. You have changed my life.

Having Kerri at our MOPS group was the perfect way to start the day! She did an amazing job of
connecting and engaging a room full of women in all stages of life. Our theme this year is
"Fresh Air" and it was certainly refreshing to have Kerri and her natural ability to relate
us all and remind us of the common thread we all have running through our lives; Jesus Christ.

"Praise God from whom all laughter flows!"
This past weekend we were blessed to host a Women's Event that had Kerri Pomerolli as a guest speaker. WOW! God truly showed up in many miraculous ways — one of which was the healing laughter that Kerri provided. Her unique look at what is "Biblical" left us rolling in the isles and allowed each woman present the opportunity to look at our troubled lives in a bright new way. Kerri's gift of story telling and her incredible sense of humor were blessings to us! We loved every minute of her testimony — make sure she tells you about her humorous dealings with "band-aides!"
A good time was had by all!!
Snatch her up for your event — she is going to be booked constantly very soon!!
Still laughing,

Not only did she make us laugh; she made us think. Lots
of times you hear a speaker, then walk away and forgot what they
talked about. Not Kerri, what she says really sticks, and you
walk away challenged.
Many of our students said that
they liked Kerri because she was REAL! You know, students NEED
to hear from people that are honest with them.

Kerri Pomarolli was wonderful! Our campus loved her enthusiasm and she was so
incredibly funny. She enlightened our audience and encouraged students to seek the
will of God for their lives. Given the positive feedback from the student body,
we'd definitely be honored to have her back again.

It isn't very often that students continue to talk about a chapel message long
after the speaker has left the campus, but students at Gardner-Webb are still
talking about Kerri Pomarolli and the life-changing message she shared.
Tracey Jessup
Dean of Student Ministries
Gardner Webb University
It was so evident that God enabled Kerri to present exactly
what our students needed to hear. They connected well with
her story and her challenges went right to the heart! I
was impressed with the way Kerri wove what she had learned about
our campus and our students into her presentation. I've
heard so many comments from students saying she was one of the
best convocation speakers we've had on campus and urging
me to have her back again!
Sharon Carlson - Center

Kerri Pomarolli speaks the truth that we students
need to hear in a refreshing and entertaining way that really
connects with her audience. I've gone to chapel at a Christian
college for three years, three times a week, and she is by far
the best speaker yet.
PS: My ex boyfriend stayed awake the whole
time and he's slept through every chapel yet!
Amanda - Gordon College, MA
It was truly an awesome experience to have Kerri do her stand up comedy act
and then speak during chapel the next morning. Students were able to witness a young
woman who has "been there, done that" and learned to rely on God. Everyone needs some
inspiration and humor- Kerri has it in multitudes!

Kerri's Bio
Born in Dearborn, Michigan, it all started at the tender age of 2 when Kerri Pomarolli found her comedic calling,
she knew how to tell jokes and became addicted to making people laugh.
Her very Southern mother had different plans for her and enrolled her immediately
in dance classes where Kerri found a way to express her other talent. She was well
on her way to becoming a professional dancer when tragedy struck at age 11. She was
diagnosed with Scoliosis and went through extensive and painful treatment. Finally,
she had spinal fusion surgery that placed two metal rods in her back and allowed her
to live a normal life, but she knew her dreams for a ballet career were over.
Devastated but determined, she decided to try acting. Kerri got the phone book and
called the local theater company and said "Hello my name is Kerri Pomarolli I'm 11 and
I want to be an actress". She auditioned and was cast, as the lead role in Lillian Hellman's
"The Children's Hour". She got the theater bug.
Her accomplishments proceeded through high school performing in theater, musicals and
commercials. She toured Italy with a classical theater study program through the University
of Michigan and performed in the Greek Operetta, "The Bachae."
She graduated from Northville High School and was accepted at University of Michigan where
she received her Musical Theater BFA and joined the Alpha Phi Sorority.
During her summer semester she studied at Stella Adler Conservatory in NYC and went on to
London to study at the British American Drama Academy and was offered a role in "Revenger's
Tragedy" at the prestigious Young Vic Theater. She impressed director Simon Stokes (Dangerous
Liaisons) so much he cast Kerri in the lead role as Vindice even though the part was
written for a man.
After college Kerri moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting.
She graduated from the two-year program at Second City and performed on the main stage in
LA with "The Thompsons" for a season. She also studied at the Groundlings for Improv and joined
the award winning theater ensemble, "The Actors Coop". Kerri paired up with known television actor
Gary Hershberger to co-found the inspirational drama ministry, "Act In Faith" that is getting rave
reviews for their honest and heartfelt dramas on life's tough issues. They perform at marriage
conferences and church events across the country with the theme, Real Life, Real Problem,
and Real Faith.
Kerri came to Hollywood searching out that one role that would make her famous but found compromising her faith was not worth the star on the Walk of Fame. One night after much prayer it was apparent that God had other plans for her, Kerri was to do stand up. She was led to her first gig, in all places, at the world famous Hollywood Improv. Although she performed in front of a very secular crowd Kerri was the only performer asked to come back. Kerri continues to hone her craft by working the comedy club circuit and has become one of the most sought after Christian comedians and tours extensively throughout the U.S. and Canada. She has shared the stage with such diverse Christian Comedians as Ron McGehee, Sherri Shepherd, Carlos Oscar and Anthony Griffith. Whether she's at a secular comedy club or a church congregation Pomarolli uses comedy as her pulpit and has become an innovative and charismatic evangelical.
Kerri is also an accomplished actress, published author and veteran of television with credits that
include 28 appearances on The Tonight Show, Comedy Central, recurring
roles on Port Charles and Young and the Restless, and
Lifetime Network. She has been a popular guest on many TV shows on Fox,
TBN, CBN, The Total Living Network, ABC, ABC Family Network, The Joni Show, CNN Headline News Showbiz Tonight, Hallmark Channel, Pre Show Host GMA/Dove Awards
and many others. Kerri and husband comedian Ron McGehee appeared on the Oxygen Network's hit reality show, Tori and Dean: Inn Love and starred and co-produced a pilot, along with Ron, produced by Eastgate Productions. The pilot, www.ilovekerri.tv, demonstrates both their comedic ability to interact as they take on the task of home improvement. As you will see, their complete lack of skills is downright comical. I Love Kerri premiered on Sky Angel.
Kerri also writes her own advice column in national
magazines, contributing writer for the new national magazine "Hope For Women", writing articles for the Teen magazine Brio, is a
contributing writer in Flint Wainess" new book "It's Not Me It's You", collaborating
with author Matthew Paul Turner on new book to be released in Fall 2007 by Nav Press, and is part of a new book
"Relevant Nation 50 Revolutionaries Under 40" in stores now published by Relevant Press.
Her book, "If I Am Waiting On God, Then What Am I Doing In A Christian Chatroom?; Confessions Of A Do It Yourself
Single" is in Christian bookstores nationally, and just re-released to reach a secular audience under Boys Like Girls Named Jennie and you can read her Award Winning “Best Column” national syndicated column Report From A Hollywood God Girl and her cartoon, Kerri, in The Chronicle Christian Newspapers.
Kerri Pomarolli lives in the Los Angles area with her husband of 3 years, comedian Ron McGehee and new addition baby Lucy.
Kerri's Testimonial
"I moved to LA to pursue my dreams... famous actress/trophy wife. I went to church only when there was parking
and did things exactly the way I planned them. Funny how even though I was getting worldly success and my mom had
things to brag about at bridge I wasn't happy. I knew something had to change. I silently prayed one night while
sitting in a show... 'God I just want to perform. however You see fit. I just want to come back to You.'
That was the most powerful prayer because the very next day things changed. I started a ministry called
Act in Faith that provides original dramas for churches with Hollywood actors and directors. We've been
touring ever since. In the midst of that, God led me to stand up comedy. Not only did He want me to talk about
HIM, He wanted me to do it in Hollywood where He wasn't getting much stage time. I said YES and everything took
off from there. It's been my honor and passion to go out, talk about HIM and what He's doing in my life, to people
from all walks of life—and I'm loving every minute of it."
