I am pretty good at making other people laugh. If you happen to be female I’m really good at it. Which is very comforting since I have no other apparent marketable skills.
As all comedians have well formed opinions and worldviews mine is that you can choose hilarity or insanity, and you might as well laugh about all the stuff that could make you crazy. I think that God has a great sense of humor and, if we don’t take the opportunity to laugh at ourselves, we’ll miss out on the Divine Comedy.
I’ve got comedy concert dvds, cds and several books that are available at the usual retail outlets. You can find out all about that stuff at www.anitarenfroe.com. I do faith-based women’s arena events (with upwards of 20,000 in attendance), some tour dates of my own, some corporate events, and we have very comedic, noisy dinners with our kids at home. Too bad we can’t upload those to YouTube.

I'm a comedian, author, wife, mom.
Actually, my kids will probably abandon myspace now that I'm on it. So now it's officially uncool.
I do estrogen-flavored comedy and I'm a Christian.
I know it doesn't make sense, you'd just have to see it to understand it and you can see it at www.anitarenfroe.com/video_clips_main.htm
Who I'd like to meet: Michael McDonald, and almost everybody else in the world.
I just saw you in concert in Omaha. My husband was with me. I think he laughed more than I did. It was a blessing. Thanks for your gift of laughter. You don't know how much it means to me.
GREAT show in Wichita, Ks. Friday night. LOVED IT. Took some sisters and friends with me that had not seen you before and we all de-stressed with some laughter. Thank You!
Thank You for the show in Colorado Springs, 02-19-09. Again you have made an imperssion on my life, reminding me it's ok to be imperfect & people will still love me. Last years show, you helped me laugh though going through a tough divorce. Thank you now for 2 years of reminding me to laugh! Forever your fan, Michelle
Keep up the practicing of your Violin! (Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!) If you need any pointers, my husband is a Violin player and would be honored if you need him. Tried to watch your spanx video and see it's been removed. Boo hoo... You are so funny and good for the soul. See you're coming back to FL in Feb, will hope to see you again. Feel like we're old friends who are apart for a little while. Take care! Your friend from S. FL, Karen
Hi Anita, thanks for adding me. I see that you're going to be in Wichita, Ks. on Feb. 13th but there are no other details. Can you tell me where, etc???? Thanks!
Anita, I just wanted to wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving this week. I met you about a year ago at WOF in Oklahoma City and truely you made my weekend there. God bless you and your ministry!
