Christie Nicholls Nittrouer is a Los Angeles-based comedian, actor, and writer with a PhD in Performance Studies from UCLA. Known for blending comedy expertise, writing, movement training, and a curiosity about psychology, she brings a unique depth to her characters.
Christie has appeared in indie films, TV comedies, and numerous commercials, excelling at playing relatable villains and exasperated characters. Her philosophy? “Comedy is composting,” turning pain and anxiety into humor for laughs and "ah-ha" moments.
Coming soon: In Hot Water, a sketch comedy show with Christie as 85-year-old Jane Fonda in a variety of sketches.
She’s also the author of the Sloth Series, a children's book collection for ages 3-8, featuring Sloth, a sweet, persistent, and often silly protagonist who never gives up—no matter how slow he moves. Sloth’s adventures encourage young readers to embrace persistence and the fun of being themselves. Sloth Finds His Perfect Tree, Sloth's Totally Not Weird First Day of School, and Sloth Can't Sleep (forthcoming) are available on Amazon.
For more writing, check out Elephants In My Room, her autobiographical essay collection, available on Amazon.
In her free time, Christie hangs out with her husband “Weaz” (Weasel), their two daughters, German Shepherd rescue dogs Maverick and Beatrice, and a gray tuxedo cat named Phil (formally Philippe). She enjoys running, boxing, traveling, snorkeling, hiking, any and all competitive sports, prank calling, hot tubbing, consuming cheese, playing with her kids, baking for the neighborhood Food Kitchen, and making people laugh until they snort or pee.
