Yes But Why ep 214 Nicole Odell brings a quiet confidence and boundless imagination to the San Francisco comedy scene!

This week on Yes But Why, listen in as I talk to actress and comedian, Nicole Odell.

Nicole Odell has been performing comedy and theatre for over a decade.
After graduating San Francisco State with a theater degree, Nicole went to Los Angeles to receive her comedy education from the Second City Hollywood. There, she received the bulk of her training in sketch writing and improv. While in LA, she also performed stand-up and participated in several small theatrical productions. Many comedy shows, a couple of plays and quite a few improv festivals later, Nicole moved back to the Bay Area. She connected with the vibrant improv and theater communities of San Francisco. She is currently teaching and performing improv with Leela SF, as well as teaching, performing, and writing sketch comedy with Killing My Lobster.

In our conversation, Nicole and I talk a lot about adjustments that are being made to performing improv via Zoom. In the beginning of our chat, Nicole provides some excellent advice about performing on Zoom.

We talk about finding the right place to live for you. Figuring out what you are looking for in a lifestyle. Nicole talks selfcare during tough times.

Nicole also tells me stories about her sketch comedy training. I get to pick her brain about the differences between the Second City method and the Killing My Lobster method for writing sketch comedy. I get real geeky.

I had a great time talking to Nicole. We laughed a lot and there are lots of funny tangents throughout our chat!

Support Nicole Odell by watching out for online shows from her improv troupes, Odell and DeJong and La Spazzatura. And check out Killing My Lobster for her upcoming sketch comedy shows!
