Nina Rose Carlin

SEEKING REPRESENTATION

Lights. Camera. Delusion. Nina turns her years of experience in the entertainment industry [derogatory] into a rollicking cabaret with stand-up, clown, and musical comedy. Get an inside scoop of pop culture and Hollywood through her witty and absurdist lens, as she takes you from red carpets, to begging the Apatow-Mann’s to adopt her as their new nepo baby, and even to a moment of reckoning. Or at least, an AI-generated TikTok about it. Premiered at the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and enjoyed sold-out shows and critical success.

SECOND COMING

A struggling actress creates an OnlyFans account to pay rent. Before long, an internet conspiracy theory proliferates overnight which contends that she's the new Messiah. Set in a sensory-overloaded version of Los Angeles, Second Coming is a play about the sacred, the profane, and the shadowy spaces in between. Created in collaboration with Circle X Theatre Co., directed by Drew Droege for a livestream production.

THE HOUSE SIT

A Hollywood assistant is tasked to watch her boss’ Malibu mansion as it ~literally~ burns to the ground. And as an audience member, you can ask the assistant to do various tasks as she tries to keep it altogether, by texting her the only way a Hollywood exec can - in all caps, and between the hours of 1am-4am. This interactive show is set to premiere at The Broadwater Los Angeles in 2026.

WHEN I WAS SACRED

It’s the Apocalypse, and baristas Igor and Rome must do what they do best - write screenplays, do CrossFit, and keep their cafe afloat at all costs. When I Was Sacred premiered at The Hollywood Fringe Festival and was nominated for Fringe First and won the Encore! Producers Award. Nina wrote, directed, produced, and starred in the production.

BLACK WIDOW LAUGHS

A speakeasy in 1920 run by an exceptionally vengeful family of women who some refer to as ‘The Kardashians of the Prohibition Era.’ This play premiered at The Hollywood Fringe Festival. Nina wrote, directed, and produced this production.
