Nancy's performances and presentations are high energy, dynamic and hilarious. Pre-Event Interviews with event planners and attendees, sharing authentic experiences, coupled with Nancy's material drawn from growing up in a big Ozark family, working as a nurse, being a single mom, spending months in Nepal adopting her son coupled with decades of honing comedy, storytelling and improv skills is what takes Nancy’s comedy and keynotes to the next level.
Norton shattered the glass ceiling by becoming the first female to win the Boston Comedy Festival. She then became the only female in 35 years to be crowned Champion of The Seattle International Comedy Competition... and is the Grand Slam Storytelling Champion of Truth Be Told.
This is what makes her a Bicoastal Comedy Champion!

Team Building Workshops
Looking for more small-group collaboration and interaction in a longer, team-building session? You might be a good fit for Nancy’s improv team building workshops, “Practicing Playful Presence.”
A lively and playful experiential breakout session. This session is designed to help you lighten up and lead with more levity. Learn how to get out of worry and back into the present moment. The present moment is where all the joy is in life and the place where we operate in the flow state and where we experience a bunch of contagious laughter because humor just happens naturally. You don’t have to consider yourself funny, or even try to be funny to invite more humor through playful presence, and more positive interactions with friends and colleagues. Reunite with your authentic self and learn how to invite a playful mindset, stop overthinking and experience more creativity and joy with the help of some simple and fun improv games.
These workshops can serve to help apply some of what attendees learned in Nancy’s signature keynote presentation as a follow-up breakout activity, or can function as standalone programing.
Whether you want to kick-off your event with an engaging, energizing, funny Keynote, or send attendees home uplifted and inspired with a memorable experience, Nancy Norton delivers and gets 5 star reviews from clients. She brings her Award Winning A-Game to every engagement for all types of events and industries.
