Welcome to The Marty Vids Show

Mandy Nolan is a funny woman. In fact she is hilarious.

Multi-talented Nolan is an accomplished comedian, artist and journalist. 

A stand up comedian for well over 28 years, Mandy is constantly in demand on the corporate and comedy circuit as one of Australia's strongest female comedic talents.

Her humour is sharp, honest, sometimes self-depreciating, somewhat outrageous and speaks to a diverse audience with no set demographic, no gender, race or religion, occupation or tribe.

A published author  Nolan's previous titles include 'What I Would Do If I Were You'  and  'Boyfriend's We've all Had and Shouldn't have.' 

Sydney Morning Herald's Bruce Elder called Nolan 'the country's sharpest and wittiest comedic columnist'.

A pioneer of regional comedy – Nolan created her own Comedy Festival, and currently has 6 comedy rooms that she programs, promotes and performs at from the Gold Coast to Ballina.

But wait, that's not all.

For nearly two decades Nolan has taught the gentle art of stand up comedy to over 1000 aspirants.

Nolan believes comedy has strong therapeutic value and has delivered several programs for Kids, People living with Mental Health challenges and seniors who all found themselves on stage delivering 5 minutes of comedy, smashing stereotypes and re-framing limiting social views.

Nolan's most important work is the unique Stand Up for Dementia, the Humour Therapy she created for people with dementia that was developed with the assistance of  Commonwealth funding with research making its way International peer reviewed medical journals.

Most recently Nolan was featured on SBS Insight for her innovative approach to working with people with high levels of dementia.
