Oh my gosh! words can not possibly express the love, the heart and commitment Mandy brings to each performance. Her wicked sense of humor is infectious and very naughty and makes me crack up every time!! Both Olivia and I cannot have a celebration at gaia without including the Queen of humor herself, ladies & gentlemen – brace yourself – Mandy Nolan – highly recommended!

Hi Mandy,
Just wanted to say thank you for the best comedy show we have ever been to. Friday 2nd, Inverell RSM. I was the guy at the front table that you and Ellen both singled out and I spoke with you briefly as we left. We all had aching cheeks and ribs from laughing so much from start to end, you were both spectacular. Such different styles, Mandy quite serious where you laugh at yourself and your own jokes in such a wonderful free manner -the differences in you make for such a great duo. We all agreed that if you had penises you would be so famous. Thank you so much for sharing so much of yourselves with us (physically and spiritually). You are both so abundantly gifted and so very generous in sharing those gifts. I sincerely hope you get a fraction of the satisfaction you both deserve in doing so.
regards

Hi Mandy,
You were an absolute knockout yesterday.
Everyone was raving, and still are.
So relevant, so funny!
The Intro was hilarious, you totally nailed it.
The Roast worked perfectly, the timing, the banter the lot.
The Fake Wedding was awesome, really got people in.
Face book is full of it today.
Bravo.
You couldn’t have been better, funnier or more professional.
You now have 30 dedicated fans who will rock up to any gig in Melbourne.
Bundles of love and thanks,
Sal
Mandy Nolan facilitated a ‘comedy workshop’ for our team with the objective of the session being a catalyst for their creativity. The team were quite apprehensive at first but by the end of the day everyone was rolling with laughter having well and truly uncovered their ‘inner comedian’! It was a brilliant exercise in confidence building and team connection, we will definitely book Mandy again.
Mandy has become a festival favourite, returning to Noosa in 2016 for the 3rd year.
Having her included in our festival program has proven to be a box office winner with ‘sold out’ shows year after year.
If you are seeking a true professional and one of the best Australian comics in the business….. Look no further than Mandy Nolan!
We look forward to welcoming her back to Noosa and our annual festival again very soon.
Mandy Nolan delighted our 2016 festival audiences with two sell out performances of her one woman show ‘Small Town Girl’.
As an added bonus, our community had a great opportunity to participate in a 3 hour Comedy Workshop crafted and facilitated by Mandy. We received excellent feedback from participants who gained invaluable insight/s into the world of Comedy from the masterful Mandy Nolan.
“At the end of an exhausting day overflowing with challenging political discussion, Mandy Nolan entertained our Women MPs who had gathered in Sydney from all Parties representing all states, the Australian and New Zealand Parliaments and five Pacific Nations. Over drinks she seamlessly transitioned from a (necessarily) sober welcome message from Foreign Minister Julie Bishop and Speaker Bronwyn Bishop, and within 60 seconds had us rolling about with side splitting laughter. Mandy is a comedian for everybody – she took our very diverse group and made us feel like one big family united by half an hour of of truly hilarious perspectives on our own lives, and how much we have in common. It was the perfect end to an emotional day and had everyone back before our 8.30 am start the next morning, refreshed, energised and reliving their favourite lines from her performance. Of the thirty presenters to our Conference Mandy was easiest to work with a complete professional in tailoring to avoid many individual sensitivities and fit the role we hoped she would fulfil – she way exceeded our expectations, made us organisers look great, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
