Alabama-based, nationally touring, and available throughout Iowa. Law enforcement in Newton, a county fair fundraiser in Thompson, a faith-based community weekend in Lineville — documented Iowa work from 2013 through 2026, all of it clean.
Alabama-Based. Nationally Touring. Proven in Iowa.
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 Iowa meeting planner is booking a touring professional, not a regional act with a short drive.
Iowa is not a one-off for him. He has performed for law enforcement, association, agricultural and county fair, faith-based, nonprofit and community audiences across the state, with documented Iowa dates going back to 2013 and as recently as July 2026. The recommendation letter from the Iowa State Police Association, the client email from the Thompson fundraiser and the five-star review from Brush Arbor Days are all on this page.
That range is the point. The same clean act closes a statewide police conference, carries a 45-minute indoor fair fundraiser and works a Christian community weekend — no rewrite, no risk, no apology to the room afterward. Jody flies from Atlanta into Des Moines, Cedar Rapids or Omaha, books his own travel, and quotes it with the fee.

Where Jody Works in Iowa
Newton, Thompson and Lineville are the documented dates, but Jody travels the whole state: Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Sioux City, Iowa City, Waterloo, Ames, Council Bluffs, Dubuque, Mason City, Ottumwa and the fairgrounds, convention centers and church camps in between. Des Moines International, The Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids and Omaha’s Eppley Airfield all connect through Atlanta, and he will add a Midwest swing when a second regional date lines up.
The Iowa rooms he has already worked cover most of what the state books: a statewide law enforcement association conference, a county fair fundraiser, and a faith-based community weekend. Add to that the rest of his national book — corporate meetings and banquets, chambers of commerce, electric cooperative and farm bureau annual meetings, teacher in-service days, churches, and military and veteran events. If a second Iowa or Midwest date is already on your board, say so with the request; pairing dates keeps the travel line down.
Questions
Booking Jody in Iowa
Has Jody actually performed in Iowa?
Yes, and more than once. He performed at the 81st Annual Iowa State Police Association Conference in Newton in October 2013, a county fair fundraiser at The Branding Iron in Thompson in April 2024, and Brush Arbor Days in Lineville in July 2026. The recommendation letter, the client email and the five-star review from those bookings are all on this page.
Does Jody work law enforcement and first responder events?
Yes. The Iowa State Police Association booked him for its 81st annual conference, and association President Rob Burdess wrote afterward that Jody left attendees laughing and inspired at the same time and recommended his speaking and comedic talents to law enforcement groups throughout the country.
Can Jody work a county fair, fundraiser or agricultural event?
Yes. He performed a 45-minute show for an indoor county fair fundraiser at The Branding Iron in Thompson, Iowa in April 2024 for roughly 100 to 199 guests. Fairs, banquets, fundraisers and farm bureau and cooperative annual meetings are regular rooms for him.
Does Jody work faith-based and church events in Iowa?
Yes. He performed as a Christian comedian and speaker for Brush Arbor Days in Lineville in July 2026 and received a five-star review the next day from Lori Porter, who wrote that guests were asking her to book him again for next year before the evening was over.
Is the material clean?
Yes. Clean throughout, every audience, every time. The same act works a police association conference, a county fair fundraiser and a faith-based community event, which is exactly what Iowa has booked him for.
Where is Jody based and how does he get to Iowa?
Opelika, Alabama. He is a nationally touring keynote speaker and clean comedian available throughout Iowa, flying from Atlanta (ATL) or Columbus, Georgia (CSG) into Des Moines, Cedar Rapids or Omaha. He books his own travel and quotes it with the fee so there are no surprise line items.
Clean comedy and a leadership keynote from a speaker Iowa has already booked three times — and 44 other states. Every request answered within one business day.
