Nicolette Minster is a Melbourne based comedian, actor, and writer who is best known as the woman from the viral MYSTERY OF THE WASHING BASKET sketch video that has received over 3.9mil views on YouTube.
But her greatest achievement, in her own words: successfully appealing a parking fine from the City of Port Phillip. (DM me for deets).
Words.
In between drafting ambitious “to do” lists you can catch me writing for The Weekly, The Cheap Seats, and on multiple narrative film & TV projects.
Face.
I’ve got a degree in Acting. Two in fact. Not a business degree in sight. Otherwise I’d know that two acting degrees is a weak investment.
Words + Face
I tell jokes and I MC and moderate panel chats. For money. This bit here is really just for when I get audited by the ATO.
BOREDROOM
March 18 - 22
RHINO ROOM, ADELAIDE
7:30pm
It’s London 2012 and isolated in a basement kitchen in an otherwise abandoned office building, Nicolette puts biscuits on plates and waits by the phone for an invitation to deliver them to the top floor boardroom.
Based on an alarmingly true story, 'Boredroom' is a genre bending theatrical comedy horror from the mind of a part time stand up comedian, part time screenwriter and full time attention seeker.
As seen on The Cheap Seats, The Weekly with Charlie Pickering, Sammy J's Playground Politics and Kinne Tonight including the viral sketch The Magic Basket.
“Nicolette’s comedic timing and acting skills keep you...second-guessing where the show is going to go.” ★★★★ Off Stage
“delivered laughs throughout” ★★★★ Hugging Comedians
“she wrings every comic nuance out of her script with timing and precision.” The Saturday Paper
RISING DAMP
March 27 - April 6
THE WESTIN, MELBOURNE
6:00pm
Freshly middle-aged comedian Nicolette Minster returns with Rising Damp, a brand-new show that finds her suddenly into ocean swimming, obsessing over why nobody can watch Ron Howard's 1985 triumph Cocoon and soiling herself on the set of her dream TV job. The critically-acclaimed comedian and storyteller fearlessly tackles life's big questions like when did "what if?" become "what now?” (and dinosaur vs unicorn, who wins?).
You've seen her on The Weekly with Charlie Pickering and The Cheap Seats. Now see Nicolette live, perpetually wet and barely keeping her head above water.
'Hilarious.' ★★★★ Hugging Comedians
‘A wild ride.’ ★★★★ Offstage
‘A real comic delight.’ Squirrel Comedy
