OFFICIAL BRAGBOOK OF NICOLETTE MINSTER
because who's to say there's not an UNOFFICIAL website,
somewhere amongst the interwebs.
*there's not.
ME.
In the words of Johnny Cash, "I've been everywhere, man". A child actor and terrible netballer, I trained as an actor on the Goldfields of both Regional Victoria, and in the outskirts of London at a drama school made famous by Gary Oldman and it's close proximity to a pub where a featured extra from Harry Potter was stabbed.
Somehow these events have led to a career in comedy with credits that include Mr. Black, Back in Very Small Business, Wizards of Aus and Sammy J and KINNE Tonight and the upcoming drama Breathless.
