A real threat to family values, Beth Norton is a cat lady and senior millennial that feels a bit like a man sometimes. One part stand-up comedian, one part storyteller and one part outdoorsy person, she can spin humor off just about anything; from the foster care system to her excessive pubic hair to bass fishing, this woah-man can feed. the. family.
Stand-up comedy found Beth under-employed and extremely depressed, checking coats at a bar & music venue in Burlington, Vermont. After a devastating career move to Idaho, she pulled up her funny little bootstraps, ascended through the local comedy scene, became a club feature and performed in all the local comedy festivals including Treefort's Comedyfort, 208 Comedy Fest and Idaho Laugh Fest where she tied with Mathew Broussard for 1st in the Idaho Pun Slam!
COVID was another devastating blow to a potential comedy career but Beth did what any over-achieving former foster kid would do, she adapted and survived with aplomb! In 2020 not only did she write a blog but she also earned a masters degree in public administration which she put to use immediately as the emcee for the Idaho Democratic Gala, helping raise $100,000’s for politicians while making fun of politicians. The next year, recognizing the need for more opportunities for local comics after the closing of Boise’s comedy club, Beth created Idaho Best, Worst & Weirdest Comedians, a spoof of a comedy competition and variety comedy show festival (next show TBD.)
You can catch Beth monthly June-Decemer hosting Story Story Late Night where she curates show themes, coaches featured storytellers and delivers her own stories while flexing her slowly atrophying comedy muscles. See shows tab for upcoming events!
