Nicole Burch
Who Nicole Burch is
Nicole Burch is a stand-up comedian and writer from Shawnee Mission, Kansas, based in Los Angeles, who moved there at 27 and within days was studying at the Groundlings, where she became a Sunday Company alum. Her Groundlings show The 7 Guys You Date Before You Get Married ran for months of sold-out shows, and LA Weekly called her the 'Taylor Swift' of comedy; it led to bookings on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Hulu's Casual and HBO's Barry.
Her first special, Never Been Kissed, premiered on Amazon Prime and Apple TV in September 2020 and won best comedy special at the Omni TV Fest, and her second, Mama Drama, followed in March 2024, both released by Comedy Dynamics. Her storytelling has been played on SiriusXM's Raw Comedy channel, where she was among the 100 most-played acts in March 2026.
