About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    All that’s left to say is: SERPENTIIIIIIIIIINE!

    Such an original. In his honor, if you haven’t seen “Wings of Desire” where he plays an interesting and yet familiar role, I highly recommend it. The whole movie is lovely but his part is just so perfect, and perfectly him.

    Oh no! One of my favorite movies is ‘The Great Race’ with the best pie fight in the history of the world. “Push the button Max.”. RIP

    I loved him in so many roles, the above, Columbo, and the grandfather in The Princess Bride.

    @vallegirl, great “The In-Laws” reference. Definitely an underrated movie. Peter Falk just seemed like a wonderful guy. I hope he’s walking around heaven in his trench coat having a great time.

    Love, love him! He was my go to show on NBC Sunday Night mystery as Columbo. He was adorable as the grandfather in Princess Bride and lovely in Wings of Desire. RIP, Peter Falk!
