HELLO, HOWDY, HI

Nic Nightingale is a Chicago-based comedian, actor, writer, and self-proclaimed "really nice and fun guy who is sometimes too loud, but always a pleasure to work with." Originally from Greenwood, Indiana, he’s been making people laugh since the age of 5, when he stripped in the middle of the family kitchen while singing "Macho Man" (yes that is true).

​

Nic has worked with major names in entertainment, including many years with The Walt Disney Company at destinations worldwide including Disney Cruise Line, Walt Disney World, and the Tokyo Disney Resort. He has trained at iconic comedy institutions like The Upright Citizens Brigade, iO Chicago, ComedySportz, and the conservatory program at The Second City, among others.

 

Nic also spent a year in Tokyo, Japan where he was a regular performer at the Tokyo Comedy Bar, opening for global talents like  Atsuko Okatsuka and SNL's Melissa Villaseñor, as well as starting the house improv team.

​​

Recently, Nic has worked with Virgin Voyages, as the emcee of “It’s A Ship Show” a high-energy music, circus, comedy variety show, and in 2024, as the resident host of “LOLz Comedy Club”, a role he originated.
