Comedian. Creativity Coach. Catalyst for Change.

Beth Lapides is a legendary comedic voice and creativity expert who has been helping people — from performers to professionals — unlock their genius, get unstuck, and thrive through change.

Best known as the creator and host of UnCabaret, the groundbreaking show that transformed the comedy landscape, Beth brings her one-of-a-kind mix of wit, wisdom, and wow to stages everywhere — from art houses to corporate conferences.

A dynamic speaker and performer, Beth blends story, strategy, and stand-up in talks that are funny, moving, and transformational. Her original audiobook “So You Need To Decide” was named one of Vulture’s Top Comedy Books of 2022 and hailed by Variety as a “potentially life-changing treasure.”

She’s appeared on everything from Sex and the City to Politically Incorrect, but these days she’s more interested in helping audiences spark new ideas, embrace reinvention, and laugh their way to breakthroughs.
