​Joy Carter is a British comedian, writer, actress and advocate for adoption & humour

​

'I  know what you are thinking... I bet she was born in Nigeria raised by white Missionaries  and brought up in Scunthorpe?  (north lincs) ' - yes you are right. 

​

Joy's miracle 'against all the odd's' life story has shaped her character, career and sense of FUN! from her stage shows to advocacy work. In 2008 Joy's humour was recognised when she was nominated for an Emma award in comedy and her career took off. Joy now boasts many TV, film and broadcasting credits to her name and is constantly challenging herself to be more.

 

Following a news interview for Channel 4 in 2006 about Madonna adopting black children suddenly Joy's life story went viral overnight reaching over 10 million people on channels such as BBC1, SKY, Channel 4 to name a few.  As the letters and emails poured in she realised there was so much more to humour and her life developed. Now Joy is now committed to using her voice to champion better outcomes for adopted children and adults, teaching people to use laughter fully and develop her comedic skills to push boundaries.

 

Joy engages and works with governments, organisations, charities, churches and business around the world. A joy unspeakable!
