Born in the USSR — back when ambition was practically a medical condition —Nikki Trubetskaya built an unconventional path from mathematics to law, and finally, to the stage.
After collecting more degrees than anyone reasonably should, she realized she didn’t need another title — she needed a microphone.

A recovering lawyer turned theatre actress turned stand-up comedian, Nikki blends intellect with instinct, logic with drama, and chaos with timing. Her background in law gives her comedy a sharp edge; her theatre training gives it soul.

Before comedy, she performed other people’s lines. Now she writes her own — mostly because no playwright ever captured the absurdity of real life. Her humor walks that curious line between intellect and confession, with themes ranging from psychology and performance to identity and the art of reinvention. She performs like it’s both a cross-examination and a confession — and yes, the accent helps.
