From raising kids to raising eyebrows on stage, Donna Lee brings humor, heart and a whole lot of real-life to every performance.
She’ll ALWAYS have cookies!
Donna Lee’s comedy journey began in 2006 when she became a finalist on Nick@Nite’s Search for the Funniest Mom in America, earning her early recognition as a rising star in stand-up. For five years, she hit the stage while juggling the full chaos of motherhood, marriage, and a demanding day job. After stepping away to focus on family, Donna made a bold return to comedy full-time in May 2024—and hasn’t looked back since. She’s now performing at top comedy clubs across the country.
Her comedic style is bold, brutally honest, and unapologetically mom-centric. Donna draws from the everyday chaos of family life, the messy beauty of motherhood, and the universal struggle of trying to “keep it all together”—usually with a smile and occasionally with an old fashioned in her hand. Her humor resonates with anyone who’s ever had too much on their plate and still managed to make room for dessert.
Off stage, Donna is just as unstoppable. She co-hosts and produces two hit podcasts, wrangles four wiener dogs, reminds her kids not to microwave metal, and is currently training her husband to cook something—anything—for himself. Donna Lee proves that funny and fierce absolutely go hand in hand.
You can also catch Donna weekly on her two podcasts wherever you listen to podcasts:
