Nicole Blessing is an indomitable force of nature fueled entirely by dry Midwestern wit, weird optimism, and a refusal to acknowledge when she’s beaten. Originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota—where surviving winters builds a very specific kind of psychological resilience—Nicole’s career has spanned from regional commercials to national film, print, and voice work. For a time, she survived the trenches of live television as a regular on-air model for a national home shopping network, smiling through five-hour stretches of selling watches, jewelry, and beauty products to people who definitely shouldn’t be shopping at 3:00 AM.
Nicole’s film, “Temple of the Money Changers 2.0” won Best Comedy Short at the Silicon Beach Film Festival; and an official winner at the New York Metropolitan Screenwriting and Film Awards.
As a stand-up, Nicole has opened for Last Comic Standing winner Dat Phan and graced the stages of The Comedy Store, The Hollywood Improv, The Ice House, Flappers, the Burbank Comedy Festival, and Laugh Riot Grrrl. Part meticulous digital strategist, part unhinged live performer, Nicole treats comedy like a science experiment and life like a joke she’s determined to get the punchline of.
