Mandy Nolan is the Queen of comedy in our community and beyond. She is an amazon of a woman: courageous, intelligent, talented, and larger than life. She writes, she performs, she mothers, she researches, she interviews and she works, hard and long (she could easily make a joke of that). Her comedy is hilarious and she handles hecklers brilliantly. She is a fantastic role model for women because she is able to love and accept, and laugh at herself with humour that strikes at the core of our insecurities and self-rejections.
