Nicole Marie Lado is honored to be making her New York theater debut as Girlie Ensemble 1/Rachel Berry in the instant cult-classic play “Archive of My Own”. She is a theater and film comedian who enjoys processing her High School Drama Trauma™ in front of a live studio audience because therapy is expensive and she loves attention. She opened for Jim Gaffigan at the Gotham Comedy Club* and loves pursuing classic theater roles, like the Ugly Step-Sister in Roger’s and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” and The Bookseller/Angry Mob Villager 6/Wolf in “Beauty and the Beast”. When she’s not exploring the theater-kid-to-ADHD-diagnosis-to-lesbian pipeline in her standup, she can be found telling everyone within earshot, “Hey, they did this song on Glee!”
