About Niki

Hey, there! My name's Niki, and I do a lot of different things...mostly comedy (stand-up, improv, voice acting, etc...).

My areas of focus as a writer are: sit-coms. comedy features, rom-coms, and musical comedies. (But every once in a while, I like to surprise myself with a sci-fi/fantasy or a pharmaceutical thriller.)

I'm also a writer-for-hire, and I'm headed into L.A. for the month of May (and part of June) to do some stand-up at The Comedy Store!

(I go to the open mics - that's how I test out my material for my sit-coms. I tell the jokes in front of an audience to make sure it's funny before I put it in the final polish. That way, when people laugh, I know it's really laugh-out-loud funny, and not just in-my-head funny!)

Come on down and tell some jokes with me!

Unique traits: Founder of the Rising Phoenix Comedy Troupe, Founder of Rush Hour Comedy Radio, and Founder of Silly Side Productions Author of the book "Chasing A Career in Pharmacy and in the Pharmaceutical Sciences" (written under the name Nicole Galiano, PharmD)
