@JeffDror - You are correct. I though I had tried RandomVariate with the custom distribution but in a new session it worked fine.

The LHS of your definition should read MyNormalDistribution[mu_, sig_] Without the patterns, MyNormalDistribution[0.5, 0.3] is undefined. Even after this correction, RandomVariate[MyNormalDistribution[0.5, 0.3]] does not return a value. RandomVariate only works with the built-in distributions. You would need to define an upvalue for MyNormalDistribution to have RandomVariate work.
