Nina Conti chooses her Tracks Of My Years

Award-winning Queen of ventriloquism Nina Conti chooses her Tracks Of My Years.

Nina Conti, award-winning queen of ventriloquism, chooses the Tracks of My Years. Nina started doing stand-up ventriloquism in 2002 and shot to fame by winning the Â鶹ԼÅÄ New Comedy Award that same year. Famed for her foul-mouthed ‘sidekick’ Monkey (Monk), Nina has won numerous comedy awards for her writing, acting and ventriloquism. She has taken many shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and appeared at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Montreal Comedy Festival. In 2016, her smash-hit solo show ’In Your Face’ enjoyed sell-out seasons in London’s West End and New York’s off-Broadway.

More recently Nina was a runner-up on ‘The World’s Best’, a US major talent show on NBC, produced an improvised web series, ‘In Therapy’ which has amassed over 1.5 million views since 2018 and joined forces with award-winning Shenoah Allen (The Pajama Men) to make the character comedy podcast, ‘Richard & Greta’, unqualified experts who explain how to get the most, or too much, out of your partner.

Following a four year absence Nina is now embarking on a UK tour with her new project - The Dating Show - opening at Bristol Old Vic at the end of October. She’ll be like Cilla Black with masks. Derailed. Not so much a Blind Date as a re-voiced one. There is no promise that true love will be found but a firm guarantee that big laughs will be had in the reign of this quick-thinking queen of ventriloquism.
