Donna Lee’s journey into comedy began in 2006 when she became a finalist on Nick@Nite’s Search for the Funniest Mom in America, marking her as a rising star in standup. For five years, Donna Lee performed standup comedy while balancing motherhood, marriage and a full-time job. She then took a hiatus from the stage for several years before returning to comedy full-time in May 2024. Donna Lee is now booking shows at top comedy clubs around the country.

Her comedic style is bold, unapologetically mom-centric and refreshingly honest. Drawing from everyday chaos, family life and the beautiful messiness of motherhood, Donna’s humor connects with anyone who’s ever tried to hold it all together with a smile—and maybe a glass of wine.

Off-stage, Donna Lee balances comedy with producing and co-hosting two hit podcasts, reminding her kids not to put metal in the microwave, managing her four wiener dogs and training her husband to cook his own meals. She’s proof that funny and fierce can absolutely coexist.
