Jerry Carroll

Jerry Carroll found his passion for comedy growing up on his family's farm in Willow Spring, NC. From a young age, he was deeply involved in the farming of tobacco, corn, small grain, soybeans, cattle, and hogs alongside his father and uncle. The long hours spent in a tractor cab not only provided Carroll with a unique perspective on rural life but also ample time to hone his comedic vision, dreaming of making people laugh.

Carroll's journey in comedy began with a humorous anecdote about a farm safety incident, which he first shared at a local seed store. Fuelled by the positive reception, he decided to pursue a career in comedy, performing initially at a local comedy club. His natural talent for delivering engaging storytelling and punchline-driven humor quickly elevated him from emcee to headliner in just eight months, beginning his professional comedy career in 1993. Since then, Carroll has entertained audiences in a variety of venues, from small community gatherings to significant events like the Minister's of Provincial Parliament at the Royal York in Toronto, Canada.

In addition to his performances at comedy clubs, corporate meetings, and conventions, Carroll is a celebrated figure at agricultural events, leveraging his extensive farming background. His speeches often blend humor with motivational and inspirational messages, emphasizing themes like farm safety and the everyday challenges and joys of rural life. Despite his busy touring schedule, Carroll remains actively involved in working on his family's farm, ensuring his material is authentic and relatable. His dual role as a farmer and comedian makes him a valuable speaker at agribusiness gatherings and beyond. Alongside his comedic career, Carroll has also made appearances on television, hosting shows like Fishing for Laughs and Amazing America with Sarah Palin on the Sportsman Channel.
