If she were my mother- I'd be the biggest fan girl, showing up at every gig. She's a riot.
I cried through the last half. Thank you so much for making this doc.
“Stop telling us to disappear!!!” 👏👏👏👏
Made my 78 yo big sister watch that part. The arms like bags of dead mice is what did it.
This could have been 3 hours long, and I would watch it.
Agree, I wanted more!
Me too! 25 minutes was definitely not enough!!
Absolutely!
I'm 76 and already wrote my routine. Life gets funnier.
These two are flippin' amazing. I love Natalie's spirit and they are both so inspiring!!
These two are the direct result of Clint Eastwood saying, "Don't let the Old Man (or Woman) in!" And Cher saying, "I'm not ready to roll over and play dead!" You become old when you start thinking you're old. God Bless Natalie and George! I absolutely LOVED this video!
Long Live The New Yorker. Brilliant Documentary.
I laughed, I cried, I liked & subscribed. What a wonderful documentary. In 40 years, I can only hope I'm still here and full of beans! So inspiring.
"I don't care if my kids think it's foolish. I'm still doing stand up because I can still stand up." She's brilliant.
I laughed hard, cried, goosebumps all over. What a wonderful video. These two are incredible.
They're both so talented, lovable, cool, and badass! My heros! They have new fans now. 👍 Wonderful
This is beautiful. My situation is the same . I am a Jazz musician, which i also see as being in show bizz. And i get the same high from performing.
Two wonderful people! So inspiring; This woman's children should be proud of her as she's setting an example and she's such an inspiration! Life is tough for so many olders, health, loneliness etc.. These two are fighters! As she says: "keep moving!""
The comedians I know personally and seen are usually pretty serious deep feeling people. Humor is what helps carry them through the pains of life. Think about it.
The tree makes me happy because those are the best ornaments ever! You guys keep it up. You are bringing joy!
Laughter is Love 😊
Tears. And then the ending jokes. Darned fantabulous.
More people need to follow their bliss. How lucky they both are🤗
Hi dear how are you doing?
😅 just goes to prove that age is just a number. Love that lady. She's incredible. I'm a traveller in my 60s and, honestly, have been a bit ageist recently because too many elderly people are addicted to prescription drugs and frankly are like the living dead. This lady gives me hope for the future 🌟🧡😍 I'm gonna continue forging my own path. Feck the opposition
Those prescriptions keep some of us going. We all have choices.
@@christinearmington absolutely ✌🧡
I’m 56 and I feel things closing in on me! I really needed to see this!! Natalie is such an inspiration!! It gives me hope!!
@@KimSearch865 😊🌈💜💚
@@KimSearch865 56 is still young. I'm 53 and I just want to keep enjoying life as much as I can. At least, I will keep trying; First of all, look after yourself and choose well who you surround yourself with.
I love this video, and Natalie Levant and George Saltz, 💜 Love to you both and Thank You for your comedy, facing the challenges and moving forward!! I'm a fan! To the fantastic director, cinematographer, editor and producer, BRAVO! 🌸
👏💯🎭BRAVO
This was too short for me. I havent laughed that much in a long time. Loved you both. Keep the jokes a coming please. 😂
I have to save my energy! I have a show to do tonight! I so totally love this!!
Her sons are missing out on sharing the life of their fabulous mom!♡♡♡☆☆☆
That was so wonderful. I love these two. What role models for all of us.
There’s something absolutely refreshing about the older folks comedy and them fulfilling their passions! Wow! This is brilliant! Bravo 👏👏👏
She was beautiful and still is. 😍
Lovely to see these courageous people show us how to keep being vital at every age.
Love these two makes me want to see them both preform 🤣🦹🦹🏿
03:56 -- The best kept secret in the world is that NO middle-aged or old woman fits the format, and none of us give a sh*t about fitting the format anyhow. :-)
I love this
Excellent doc. A great topic. And Nat and George hold up against younger comics.
Thouroughly enjoyed these two comedians. They had really good jokes. Keep doing what you love, it keeps you young at heart.
Natalie... your kids will one day understand (even if too late) that you're doing what you love and that's all that matters and they can support you or support you
Beautifully done…brought tears to my eyes, and laughter!
Why wasn’t this longer, I enjoyed watching this 🤩.
Beautiful. Natalie and George are inspiring to be my true self. Thank you for this!!!
I know the thing with the sons is probably way deeper, but I do hope they find a way to appreciate their mamas craft in person before it’s too late.
She gives me hope for my own estranged son who thinks it's time for me to settle down, leave performance etc behind and become a grandmother to his kids. Life is full of such sadness but also full of joy.
@@xelamercedes Alex please keep performing.!! You already gave your child life, you do not owe him yours on top of this, you owe you. Women who keep on keeping on are so inspiring , big Love to you!!!
@@xelamercedes Keep going, I'm rooting for you all the way!
They don't know what they are missing! 💝
Love it. Wonderful and inspiring.
Loved every minute of this.
Natalie's kids don't know they missed really knowing their mother because she decided to know herself. So sad.
I watched this two times in a row. So inspirational!
I absolutely LOVED this and am sharing in my group. Fantastic!
Bette Davis said it best “getting old ain’t for sissies.”
My heros, I just turned 60, this gives me inspiration,
The best of the human spirit on display. Love you all!
Good for them. Follow your passions.
I cannot believe, her own sons, who she raised along with her husband, with so much love and happiness, have abandoned their own mom.... because she chooses to do stand up comedy???? Shameful. Life is too short.
She’s so cute and funny.
Happens all the time. I'm in the same boat. Haven't seen my grandkids for almost 3 years because my son thinks I'm too wild.
Remember, there are always at least two sides to every story
Well behaved women seldom make history! Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
We don’t know the whole story or what exactly the sons have objections to. Life is complicated.
Is her daughter still around? Mine isn’t- I’m too woo.. I moved to Mexico, and people still like and respect their elders here. Now the kids think I abandoned THEM ha ha I loved those boots!!
I adore this woman.
That’s amazing, and gives me hope for my future
What a wonderful documentary I couldn’t stop watching I recently lost my mother and Natalie reminds me so much of my mom❤️
2:26 I thought I was the only one with a studded and bejeweled walker!
I think I’ll start on mine now. I loved it!
So beautiful. “They don’t make ‘em like us anymore” 💜
Love her 🙌🏼❤️
They are a gift for my soul. I love them💗💗💗
I can't believe that I'm a bonafide New Yorker---yet, I'd never heard of them!!! I've missed so much!!! This was so beautiful and funny.
These folks are just fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing them with us. 💝
I love this.
Hi dear how are you doing?
Thank you! Loved this
These people are amazing. So 65 isn't old??
Beautiful!!!!
and I was off to a flying stop...excellent show///ty
I'm in love with them both❤💕💓I cried at the end... Bless these beautiful souls!!!🙇🏼♀️
Keep going you have joyous wonderful spirits
this is wonderful
thank you
Life goals.
Really enjoyed this video..thankyou for taking the time to spotlight them so we could enjoy them too..❤️🥳👏🏻
I literally love this woman's spirit.
This made my day. I just can’t understand why Nathalia’s kids won’t talk to her. I would be proud if she were my mom. Kids want their parents to do what they think they should do forgetting they are their own person with goals and dreams.
This is love.THIS is community
👋 The New Yorker Hi there, This was one awsome video, she is one tuff cookie!😆 I hope they get to live a long life so they can enjoy there😂comedy😂career.👏•🙇God bless them both.🙏•👏😂👏 • (☺😷🙋✌)
Spectacular and inspiring!!!
Have you heard of Ilene Geduldig? A budding comic who performs monthly with her daughter, established comic Lisa Geduldig with Kung Pao Kosher Comedy (online)? Super funny...
Excellent...Natalie and George Rock !!
Wonderful, thank you.
Loved this and I wish I had Natalie's arms!

There is still hope for my dreams yet!!!
Excellent! Thank you!
Such amazing people 😘😘😘😘
Natalie is awesome!!! If you are one of Natalie's son and you are reading this, you ought to be a shame of yourself. Call your mother son and tell her you love her and support her.
Why is this not on Vice Tv.. the is amazing
This is so great!
This was great, these people really are inspirational!❤️
I think they both are wonderful. It's really sad Natalie's children don't appreciate her.
That's what I tell my rescues "get a job". you are awesome!
LOL! Nice
Love you guys 🙏💖🙏💖😊✌✌☮☮🤟🌻
Forge your own path. 😊🥰🤩🥳
This should be turned into a motion picture….” When Harry Met Sally- 50 years later!”
