about
At 75, Nola Bliss is proving that it’s never too late to pursue your purpose and goals. Once a fixture in Perth’s comedy scene during its infancy 30 years ago, Nola took a hiatus to focus on her family business as a publican in the town of York. Now, she’s back, reigniting her comedy career with a fervour that is both inspiring and infectious. Nola’s return to the stage has been met with resounding applause. Audiences are captivated by her no-nonsense, candid, and cheeky style. Her performances are a delightful mix of naughtiness, a touch of crude, and a bit of dark humour - truly unique. On days she isn’t gigging, Nola is diligently writing, constantly honing her craft.
