Nora Lavelle

NORA LAVELLE's early love of making people laugh often landed her in the Principal's office. Performing professional stand-up comedy proved to be her only way out. These days, the only thing she loves more than entertaining packed houses is sitting in front of the TV, eating banana cream pie.

At first blush, Lavelle seems to be a "fresh-faced girl next door," but her wholesome demeanor masks a unique and slightly twisted take on the world. Her jokes pack punches that take you completely by surprise.
