Chonda Pierce
(born in South Carolina) is a Christian comedienne often billed as "The Queen of Clean." Maiden name "Courtney".
Pierce got her start in comedy during a six-year stint at a theme park in Nashville, Tennessee called Opryland USA. A Theater Arts major from Austin Peay State University, Pierce went to the park to pay her college bill. Not knowing how to dance, she had to memorize jokes from Grinders Switch, Tennessee and impersonate Cousin Minnie Pearl. With a troubled childhood behind her, entertainment was the catharsis Pierce needed, reporting "I was hooked! I loved the sound of an audience laughing. It was just the medicine I needed." [1]
Since her humble beginnings, Pierce has gone on to appear numerous times on the stage of The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, write eight books, and become perhaps the most sought after Christian comedienne of our day, having five gold-certified comedy albums and two platinum albums to her name. Pierce has an ongoing concert calendar [2] and her comedy segments also frequently appear on XM Radio's Laugh USA
and Sirius Satellite Radio's Blue Collar Comedy 103
.
Pierce is a member of the Christian Comedy Association, but outside the comedy, she is a spokesperson for World Vision and works with various other Christian leaders and organizations.
