Laura Rea

Comedian & conversation guide

Laura brings humor, perspective, and a wonderful ability to help us recognize ourselves in the stories we tell.

Laura has spent her career bringing people, ideas, and stories together—and she's now bringing that same curiosity to the stage.

About Laura

A lifelong believer in the power of a good story and a good laugh, Laura uses comedy to explore the wonderfully ridiculous and deeply human experience of figuring out what comes next. Through her Midlife Audition, she’s discovering that maybe we're not supposed to have the next chapter all figured out. Maybe we're simply supposed to be brave enough to audition for it.

At the Art of Living Well, Laura will share a short comedy piece inspired by her own “what comes next?” moment and help guide Sunday’s panel conversation.

Her mission is to connect people through laughter and human truth, creating moments where women can laugh at themselves, see themselves in one another, and feel a little less alone.

Because reflection matters. So does laughter. And there is something powerful that happens when we make room for both.
