Arkansas Keynote Speaker & Clean Comedian

Alabama-based, nationally touring, and available throughout Arkansas. From Conway and Hot Springs to North Little Rock and Northwest Arkansas, Jody Fuller has entertained and inspired Arkansas audiences at corporate events, educational conferences, school fundraisers and comedy events since 2009 — and he returns to Little Rock in November 2026.

Alabama-Based. Nationally Touring. Proven in Arkansas.

Jody Fuller is a clean comedian, keynote speaker and former U.S. Army Major with three tours in Iraq who has stuttered his entire life. He is based in Opelika, Alabama and works nationally — programs delivered in 45 states and for U.S. troops in 15 countries — so an Arkansas organizer is booking a touring professional who already knows the state.

His Arkansas history includes repeat corporate appearances for Detco Industries in Conway, the statewide SEAS Arkansas Educational Conference in Hot Springs, a school fundraiser for Immaculate Conception School in North Little Rock, and a 2009 school fundraiser in Northwest Arkansas where he won a four-comedian competition.

The pattern is the same everywhere he goes: one good event leads to the next. A company brought him back a second time, and a successful SEAS conference in Mississippi is what put him on the program in Hot Springs.
