As a theatre director Nicole's directed over two dozen (a number you say when you've lost count but feels right) comedy shows and plays with Boogiemanja, UCBT, and the Player's Theater Short Play Festival. She's made comedy videos for Elite Daily, MTV, Fuse, Broadway Video, College Humor, Scary Mommy, Betches, The Dad, and with millennial news and culture website Mic.com as a host for their daily news video series Mic Check. For over three years at UCBT they hosted the popular WOKE AF: A Mind-Opening Variety Show, an all-inclusive comedy show where artists and activists share social issues they're passionate about. In 2020 they took WOKE AF and transformed it into AMP to be a finalist in the Yes And Laughter Lab pitch program.
