Nina Conti's, The Dating Show is tear-inducing, ugly-laugh hilarious! You will not stop laughing and be utterly amazed at her wit and fast thinking.
Nina Conti is a London-based ventriloquist, comedian, and actor. She has been performing for over 20 years. She is a seasoned performer with impeccable improvisation skills and comedic timing. Her charm and good nature shine through on stage as she interacts with the audience members.
This show is highly interactive, where audience members volunteer to be characters that Conti voices. Conti selects masks to place on the volunteers and then comes up with voices for them. From here on out, she creates dialogue in the spur of the moment, using the person's body language as a guide. What comes out of her mouth, or rather their mouths, is neither scripted nor planned. She is a comedic genius!
Nina Conti: The Dating Show is an experience like no other. It is creative, engaging and 1000% entertaining.
Nina Conti: The Dating Show is playing until March 2. If you can get a ticket, grab it and run to SoHo Playhouse to see her.
