Overview

Retiring after more than three decades of teaching public high school, what's the next step? Stand-up comedy! Yet only a small part of Nancy's stories come from the classroom. With a mix-up of irreverent, edgy comedy, and horrific stories about years of online dating, this comedian offers hilarious sets of 10 to 90 minutes for adult audiences.

What to expect

I approach adult topics with edginess and irreverence. My stories are never vulgar or graphic. I am an observational comedian who also pulls from my many hilarious life experiences as a teacher, mother, divorcee, online dater, and traveler. My experiences and references are not generation-specific, so they appeal to a wide range of adult audiences.

About

Raised right outside NYC, college-educated in Miami, all I wanted was small-town living when I started my career as a Spanish teacher. The middle of rural Delaware fits the bill. After years of teaching at the high school and college levels, trying stand-up was high up on my retirement bucket list. I did an open mic and had so much fun and such a good reception, that I decided it would not be a one-off but the beginning of a new career.

I've done many open mics to hone my skills with local comedians and had bookings in Salisbury MD, Columbia SC, Savannah GA, and several DE venues as a featured comedian, special guest, and headliner. My comedy is for adults as I delve into mature topics. In April of this year, I was second-runner up in ExploreDE's 5-week comedy competition that started with 24 comics.

Doing stand-up is not unlike teaching high school. But now I get to say what I'm really thinking!
