Master of Ceremonies

Nora is a charismatic emcee, who isn't afraid to engage the audience. She has hosted events ranging from improv comedy open jams in bar back rooms to awards ceremonies in 500-seat theaters. Adaptable and consistently whip smart, Nora would love to host your next event and create an atmosphere on stage that the audience can't resist. Get in touch through the contact page.

Nora got her start in stand up comedy in London, playing and pub line-up she could. Now based in Amsterdam, she performs in both English and Dutch all around Amsterdam and the Netherlands. Dry and sarcastic, she blends her American and European identities to produce sharp, self-depreciating humour that audiences of any nationality can appreciate.

Developed by Nora McLeese in 2017, this long form improv format features two or more real life couples play a show together. However, each pairing is restricted by the rule that they are not allowed on stage at the same time as their partners. Their off-stage relationships are flipped and the challenge drives game and fun in each scene. The international premiere of this format will take place at the Copenhagen International Improv Festival 2018.
