Alabama-based, nationally touring, and available throughout Virginia. Contractors in Ashland, a heritage society in Williamsburg, soldiers in Leesburg and college students at Randolph-Macon have all had Jody Fuller on the program.
Alabama-Based. Nationally Touring. Proven in Virginia.
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 a Virginia organizer is booking a touring professional who has already worked the state.
Below are selected Virginia appearances, not a complete list: the keynote at Walder Foundation Products’ 2025 Contractor Field Day in Ashland, the featured program at the Ancient Planters luncheon at Ford’s Colony Country Club in Williamsburg, the Army’s Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers program in Leesburg, and a student comedy show at Randolph-Macon College.
That spread is the point. A field day full of contractors, a members-and-guests society luncheon, a room of single soldiers and a college commons are four very different audiences, and the same clean act landed in all of them. Virginia planners book him for corporate meetings, associations, military and veteran programs, schools, churches and fundraisers.

Jody brought the perfect blend of humor, heart, and real-world perspective to our event. He had the room laughing one minute and reflecting the next, delivering a message that was both entertaining and truly inspiring.Kim Walder, Director of Marketing, Walder Foundation Products · April 8, 2025
Why it worked: a field-day crowd of working contractors is not a ballroom audience. Kim Walder’s letter calls Jody “a consummate professional—easy to work with, prepared, and adaptable.”
The featured program. Between lunch and the membership meeting, the printed order of events lists one program: “Jody Fuller — Comic. Speaker. Soldier.” A luncheon slot for a members-and-guests society is a short, clean, no-misses set, and that is the room this was.
Proof: the society’s own printed program, shown here.
One of the speakers and entertainers for a BOSS military conference and program. BOSS is the Army program that serves single soldiers, and Jody is a former U.S. Army Major with three tours in Iraq, so this is a room where he is not a visitor.
Proof: photo from the stage with the other entertainers on the bill.
Comedy performance for students at Randolph-Macon College. College students are the least forgiving audience in comedy, and the act is the same clean set that works for a church or a superintendent.
Jody is a consummate professional—easy to work with, prepared, and adaptable—and I would not hesitate to recommend him for any event where you want to bring people together with humor, purpose, and genuine connection.

Richmond and Ashland, Williamsburg and Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia from Leesburg to Fairfax, Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, Roanoke and the Shenandoah Valley. Richmond, Norfolk, Dulles and Reagan National all connect through Atlanta, and Virginia pairs easily with North Carolina and Maryland dates when a second booking lines up.
Virginia also has one of the densest military footprints in the country — Fort Belvoir, Fort Gregg-Adams, Norfolk, Langley and Quantico among them — and military and veteran audiences are a specialty for a former Army Major. If another Virginia date is already on your board, say so with the request; pairing dates keeps the travel line down.
