Before the vehicular disasters and bizarre tweets, Amanda Bynes was just a 10-year-old girl looking for a laugh in Hollywood, and a talented one at that. The former Nickelodeon star can be seen entertaining crowds as she adorably dances and shrugs onstage (and also ignores the host's butchering of her last name -- "Burns," really?) for a stand-up routine at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles.
Take a look for yourself at the video (from 1996) below.
