“Humor really helps us face difficulties in our lives. Ms. Brenda Elsagher is original and brilliant."

Brenda Elsagher brought an energy to our Aging Celebration, which motivated and inspired all present to remember to laugh. I loved how Brenda engaged the entire audience! It was hilarious to watch all the men in the audience slapping their legs with laughter, and tipping their heads back for the hearty laugh we all love.”

Brenda Elsagher in five words; Sensational, Realistic, Eloquent, Graceful and Giving.

Brenda’s speech filled us with hope and plenty of laughter. More than a comedian, she's an educator and writer who deeply believes in helping people with the best medicine around. . . laughter.

"Hearing Brenda speak at a nursing conference left our colleagues in stitches. She delivers a heartfelt presentation that can lighten the room, yet deliver a powerful message for caregivers as she encourages them to use humor with compassion. We knew she would be a hit at our annual oncology symposium, yet were amazed at the impact she had on the attendees! "

I am so happy that we had Brenda come and talk with us! I have received nothing but positive feedback from everyone that attended! They enjoyed her humor, her being “real” and relating to us all and so many needed a good laugh with life’s “busyness!”
