Nicole Yates

Comedian. Writer. Wiseass.

Nicole is a Stand-Up comic and Writer who's spent years performing across the country at festivals, clubs, and dive bars. Basically, if a venue had a microphone, questionable financial stability, and generic energy drinks on tap, she was probably booked there. She's also written and performed sketch comedy with house teams & indie groups. She is currently aspiring to write for television and is working on a book about being fired a lot.

About

Nicole Yates was born and raised in Philadelphia, where she spent a concerning amount of time alone watching TV and treating it as both entertainment and emotional development. She attended Philly’s Esteemed High School for Creative and Performing Arts for Creative Writing, then proceeded to expertly fumble her way through college before eventually graduating from Temple University.She became a comic after a series of regular jobs failed to stick—mostly due to mutual incompatibility and scheduling misunderstandings. She is currently in LA, working on several unsold pilots, new stand-up material, a book about being fired repeatedly, as well as spending time with her cats, Nacho and Cheesy, who contribute creatively by saying “meow” and otherwise refusing to help.
