Hi, I'm Nikolina Lawless. I'm high-functioning autistic/adhd with a gift for languages & dialects. Having studied socio-political linguistics at Brown University & the University of Washington Seattle, I've lived in Russia, Mexico, Ecuador, & Quebec. I develop my comedy under the Upright Citizen's Brigade diversity initiative & create live performance art to explore masked aspects of my autism. I also enjoy clowning & self-identify as queer, she/they. I'm a US dual-citizen with Canada & open to travel!
