A bottle full of laughter and fun is what it was!


Below are a few shots from the production of A BOTTLE OF VODKA which was produced by Manhattan Theatre Source as a part of the 15th year anniversary of EstroGenius Festival

If it isn't obvious from the photos, this was a dark comedy.


See... hilarious!

NCT is closing it's current home 9/27



Last Show September 27th @ 7:30

National Comedy Theare-NY, the improv theater I have called my home for the last 3.5 years will be shutting it's current doors for good on 9/27/14.
I will be performing in the 7:30 show and then celebrating and watching as a fan for the 9:45 show.  It will be a very fun night and I would love to see as many of you as possible even if it's just for celebratory beer and popcorn

These last few shows are guaranteed to sell out fast, so be sure and get your tickets HERE

"After 10 years in our beautiful theatre, which we designed and built, our wonderful landlords have decided to double the rent, which means that we will be vacating our space at the end of this month.

While we are certainly heartbroken to be leaving our home for the past decade, with more than 2000 shows performed here, we couldn't be prouder of what we have accomplished over that time.  There have been few shows in Broadway or off-Broadway history that have been performed that many times, and we owe so much to our loyal fans who kept returning year after year to share the fun with us.

We are currently hunting for a new theatre location in Manhattan, and hopefully we will be able to reopen sometime during 2015.

In the meantime, this month is your last chance to see the amazing National Comedy Theatre perform our public shows in NYC.

We will, of course, continue to perform our private and road shows,
and our San Diego and Phoenix operations are still going strong,
but sadly we won't be able to see you at our theatre on 36th St.
after September 27th.

We sincerely hope to see many of you at our final performances this month. There's only 16 more performances left and we look forward to seeing you there and having a chance to take this out with a bang.

Our final shows are this month, every Friday and Saturday night at
7:30 & 9:45 p.m.  Tickets can be purchased here.

Thank you so much for your loyalty and support over the past 10 years of our historic run.

Best wishes-
The Cast and Staff of the
National Comedy Theatre

Manhattan Theatre Source’s EstroGenius Festival, an annual celebration of female voices, is one of New York City’s largest women’s arts festivals.

Founded by Fiona Jones in 2000, the festival debuted with a program of 10 short plays and music. Since then, it has grown into a multi-week event including short plays, solo shows, teen performances, visual art, and dance. In past years, we’ve also had stand-up comedy, live music, fundraisers for African girls’ education, and full-day networking events with panels and workshops.
I hope to see you there! - traci

Who doesn't love comedy with a side of superfoods?  

 Random Fox Youtube Channel

I recently played a kale addicted super foodie for the short film SUPERFOODS! produced by Random Fox Productions.

What are superfoods you ask?  Well...superfoods are nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals, but we can talk most about those over here.

Happy eating!

Funny AND Smart?


We will see about that a next Wednesday 3/12 @ 7:00 where I will be a panelist on a comedy-quiz show.  
I consider this my practice run for my favorite quiz show- Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me!   


Pop Quiz Hotshot is a panel quiz show in the style of QI or Nine Out of Ten Cats. 


Come out and have fun, learn something, and possibly win prizes.



The month's panel:

Traci Redmond 
Tayler Stuart 
Justin Akin
