Stacy Pederson holds a BFA in Theatre. She is a professional actress, stand-up comedian, author, and speaker who has performed stage, film, commercial, standup comedy, and radio work. She is the co-founder of The Academy of Children's Theatre (ACT) in Colorado Springs, as well as Ministry Center for the Arts (MCA).

Stacy is an award-winning performer with a unique style of comedy and speaking. She recently won over all the comics in the state of Colorado for "Colorado's Got Talent" 2013 and took second place in the overall competition. Her unique style of comedy interweaves characters, storytelling, and stand-up. Her humor is witty, creative, clean, professional, and enjoyable for all ages.

Stacy's comedy and outlook on life began with a diagnosis of a terminal illness with her first husband — launching a difficult journey fraught with failure, including a failed marriage, single parenting, job loss, broken dreams, and financial ruin. Then in July 2011, a rusty nail stepped on while building a set for a kids' musical theatre camp caused several hospital stays, near-death experiences, and surgery with lifelong repercussions. Stacy now has a deep understanding of the universal need we all have for hope, love, joy, and laughter.

Stacy is now married to the love of her life, Jeff Pederson, and is the mother of five amazing children. Together, Jeff and Stacy speak and perform music and comedy all over the nation — bringing a message of hope, fun, and laughter to audiences everywhere.
