Natalie Palamides is a versatile comedic artist recognized for her innovative and boundary-defying performances, as well as her solo shows centered on intricate, multi-faceted characters.
NATE, her one-man show, premiered globally on Netflix in December 2020.

Recently, she has been working on a series for Freeform, completing a comedy series with Duplass Brothers Productions, and starring in the feature film “Apocalypse Clown,” which received the top award at the Galway Film Fleadh.
After winning the Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2017 and being nominated for Best Comedy Show at the 2018 Melbourne International Comedy Festival for her captivating one-woman show LAID, Natalie returned to the Edinburgh festival the next year with NATE, where she secured the 2018 Edinburgh Total Theatre Award.

Hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, Natalie was introduced to the art of clowning and devised theatre by Dr. Richard Kemp at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Shortly thereafter, she joined Philadelphia’s Pig Iron Theatre to help create “I Promised Myself to Live Faster,” which debuted at the 2015 Humana Festival. As a skilled actor, writer, improviser, comedian, and clown, Natalie frequently performs in Los Angeles, including regular shows at Elysian Theater.
