The Difference Between A Trailer And A Tiny Home. Nancy Norton - Full Special

[@djolliev]

What a sweet and kind soul, and she is a great comedian too!

[@johncichon9499]

That says it all👍🙏

[@joannaedwards6325]

And all that energy. WOW !! I got out of breath just trying to listen and keep up.

[@JM-wu8bh]

I bet she accepted this gig right away then re-arranged her set for the audience/venue. Being a comedian is one of the toughest forms of art, but Nancy hit a home-run with this one. Very impressed

[@joannaedwards6325]

@@JM-wu8bh Ppl don't often realize just how hard stand up is. All that memorization!! And it can't be easy to maintain that energy level for a set longer than 20 min. You're right!!!

[@pragmaticlady4572]

Yes!!

[@deborahmichele]

I'd never heard of this woman before finding this video this evening, and I have to say: she's really good. I hope she finds a wider audience, but even if she doesn't, she seems to be spreading joy wherever she goes; she certainly gave some to me. Thanks for the laughs, Nancy!

[@nancynorton2854]

Wow! Thank you so much Deborah!!! It is a long story, but I have only been able to let my light shine to smaller audience because of some unhealthy childhood belief's I am still trying to correct. You are motivating me to clear those blocks. So thank you for the encouragement!

Yes. Very enriching. Who knew humor could do that. Impressive.

[@strongheartwoman1931]

I felt the same way, first time ever while watching a Dry Bar comedienne that I went from tears of laughter at her unique, crazy sense of humor, to tears of love and admiration for this tough, loving woman and her struggle to get her son. Nancy is an awesome human being!

I was having a bad day today. I opened up the Dry Bar channel and clicked on your video. I feel so much better now. Thank you for being the funny, kind, gentle soul you are. Keep us laughing, please.

[@nancynorton2854]

Thank you and I am so glad you're day was uplifted by watching my special... feels so good to know I am on my life purpose. When I do live shows, I try to remember to put out this prayer, "may people leave feeling better than when they walked-in." Thank you again for sharing

One of life's great joys, to discover someone new (to me) who is totally, refreshingly fabulous. Thank you Dry Bar - and Nancy XX

[@AviViljoen]

Yes, yes, yes. She is funny! I really enjoy listening to her. What a natural.

[@WMHinsch]

Nancy is a great example of the difference between comedy and humor. As Grady Nutt - one of our favorite humorists (RIP) - noted, "Comedy is the fun you make up. Humor is the fun you observe." Indeed, great humor can arise from the toughest, darkest moments of our lives, especially when we learn to laugh at ourselves in those situations rather than lashing out at everyone else. Having a sense of humor is not in most lists of virtues, but it is, and one that is desperately needed these days.

[@nancynorton2854]

Thank you for your thoughtful and kind words. I am preparing to start a pod cast called "Tromedy" to help folks isolated with trauma join in the conversation and spin our traumas into humor to help heal. Stay tuned.

[@nuralexgarcia-abukwaik2264]

Really fresh comedy. Great storyteller and interesting perspective on things. One of the most interesting comedians I have seen lately.

[@nancynorton2854]

Wow! thank you

[@brandypidgeon9613]

[@alicephilip5233]

Outstanding! Nancy tells us her story in an engaging manner that anyone can relate to. Her humor is honest, respectful, and genuinely funny. A true delight! More please!

[@pennys2881]

Laughing is good for the soul. Nancy, is wonderful & no cussing !!! It's difficult today to find an amazing comedian that relies on their talent to stand on It's own without using the "F" word etc. I love her !! She should definitely have her own show !! 🥰😅🤣😂

[@dougpatterson7494]

Dry bar comedy is gold in that sense; comics that rely primarily on telling humorous stories rather than simply swearing where most people wouldn't.

[@nancynorton2854]

Thank you for your kind words. No one used swear words in our home and I know my parents would agree with you Penny!I must admit I do enjoy dropping some f-bombs here and there in real life... this special challenged me to work clean and I am so glad you liked it!

[@kimberlywillis3746]

I have never in my life been so touched and inspired by a comedian as I was with this talented and funny lady! I laughed the whole way through and then cried at the end. She is so amazing the way she exudes such a compassionate nature, it is very, very rare this gift she has. Id love to see and read everything I can by her. Just watching this video lifted my spirits and made my day go by so much smoother and all with a silly smile on my face. Thank you dear lady, keep doing what you do. It's your true calling., because laughter is medicine to the soul. ❤

[@mtnlady4762]

She brings tears of both laughter and joy, with perfect delivery and an eloquence I’ve not seen in a comedian. Thank you, Nancy. Please come to NY soon so my friends & I can see you live.

Such a complete Joy watching and listening to your twist to the trials of your life. I, too, at 64 am a firm believer that laughing and having a sense of humor is one of the important things in life. It will be 3 years in September without 1 day or 1 hour off, of 8-11 hour days. If you think that doesn't require a sense of humor, the patience of Job and great Faith...... Laugh til you cry, or through your tears. All that to say, Many Thanks for a break at the end of one more hard day.

Yay! Shout out to all the Ozark vegetarians. There are at least a hundred of us and we grow our own! What she says is so, so true about the Ozarks. We put our very first "tiny home" underground--for temperature control and tornado protection. We still use it as a root cellar now that we have a real underground house. People in the Ozarks are survivors.

[@taleandclawrock2606]

[@linmonash1244]

So great. Now I'm never gonna forget the mites & tights either! Thanks for that... You know... I've also worked in Palliative Care and I too came away with a different perspective on life. But then I got busy... for a couple of decades... and kind of 'forgot'. And now I'm sitting here in semi-retirement with all these plans - on hold for no good reason - like setting up my painting studio and getting back to creating etc. etc. and you've just given me a great big boot up the proverbial. "Get off your arse and Do What You Love!" So Thank you for that - Seriously. I've also worked with prospective adoptive parents and your story about the corruption so endemic in many source countries should be more widely circulated. Educating people about ways to prevent falling into such traps and also ways to navigate if you find yourself in one. I know every case is different but the old forewarned is forearmed still holds true. I wonder how much information is shared amongst different Adoption agencies - both within countries and Internationally. Or perhaps (showing my age here!} this happens much more effectively now between parents on-line. Such a great story to share at the end. Much love to you and your son.❤

[@ulalaFrugilega]

This feels so much like fate, I can’t believe it! My thoughts these days are with my beloved great aunt, the one person who understands my art, and who is now very sick, and in much pain. And she has a lazy eye, pointing upward and out, and when I visited her last, couple of days a go, she told me a story of how once, she had her Dad to herself, and they went down to the lake… there, the similarities end, she was only four at the time, it was even before WW1, and they just into a boat, and rowed and sang together. But to see this lady now, with her lazy eye and her happy disposition somehow does console my aching heart. I done all I could to help, and I feel like being sad is doing my aunt a disservice, so: many, many thanks to Nancy Norton!

You are one of the best dry bar acts i've seen. LOVE your style. My 12 year old son Jimmy, ADHD like you mentioned, but also ASD, is already doing amateur standup in DC in little clubs opening up for k bel, he's MUCH too mature/satirical/sarcastic for his age, hard as a mom, but awesome in every other way. SO THANKFUL for Dry Bar. Especially thankful for sets like yours which explain get the *human* element, explaining why we laugh, its helped him better understand himself/why he loves making people laugh, the meaning/human need for humor, because those concepts don't come naturally to most ASD kids. His humor is maturing every day, so proud. I LOVE your son and how he writes jokes .. "cr@p circles" makes sense. I'm the "weird" mom in my community, proud of it. Jimmy is obsessed with engineering like yours, but is mega-talented at roasting politicians- perfect for DC. He grew up watching John Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Anyway, THANK YOU. (and as an aging mom--- i'm now proud of my spider veins :o). Love the Simpsons reference and your RARE confidence! You just go with it, accept yourself, and found a way to use it. Love. No doubt he will reach his goals, or land on the moon if he doesn't hit the stars. I don't think he would thrive in, or NEED university.. he doesn't DO school. He goes, basically daycare. Everything he knows,, he learns from the news, books, or experience. I don't give a crap what he does --- as long as he's HAPPY and independent. We've talked seriously about him doing standup. CONVENIENTLY--- his other passion is aviation. =D Perfect combo. He could get paid for traveling to his shows lol.
