Video of Overnight Sensation, 50 Years in the Making at growingbolder.com

Posted on November 29th, 2011 at 9:03 pm

How do you become a YouTube viral sensation at the age of 68? You tell a really good story. Jeanne Robertson and her growing legion of fans prove that people over 50 are embracing the Internet and leveraging social media in rapidly growing numbers.

We first met Jeanne when she was a guest on the Growing Bolder Radio Show, and when we heard she was visiting our part of the world, we knew we had to meet her in person. What we found is a warm, hilarious and gifted storyteller who doesn't leave the building until she's shook every hand and sent every person home with a smile.

Click here to visit Jeanne's website and find out where you can catch her next show and to watch more of her videos.

I saw Jeanne Robertson for the first time a couple of years ago and became an instant fan. She is positively hilarious. And Bucky Eads and others are absolutely right when they say that the world needs a lot more of Jeanne's style of humor! It goes to show that, just like some of the greatest comedians the world has ever known, you don't need to be obscene, vulgar, nasty or hateful to be funny. And one more thing: that everyone should learn to be able to laugh at themselves, and not think that every comment made about you in jest is cause for litigation!

Jeanne, I hope you have many more years of making us laugh!

Ginger!

What you see is what you get and Jeanne is one of the most down-to-earth people you would ever want to meet. Always gracious to her fans and just as friendly as they come. Clean humor...our world needs more of it and I am so glad I found Jeanne. Watching her videos reminds me a bit of the "I Love Lucy" shows, I can watch them over and over and I never tire of her humor or how she tells a story. I will laugh just as hard the tenth time as I did the first time. YOU GO Jeanne! Thanks for doing this story on her "ya'll"!

Jeanne is not only funny, she is super nice. She is in the lobby signing autographs after her shows for as long as needed to meet everyone in person. I am proud to call her my friend. I write about her on Jeanne Fun, http;//jeanne-fun.com.
