IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Beautiful brunette actress and New York based comedienne Amber Nelson was born in Saudi Arabia in 1980s due to her father's job in oil industry but her heritage is Southern. She suffered from jaundice since her birth. Her family returned to USA when she was around 7 years old and she grew up in the Southern states as they moved from Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, then Louisiana where she went to high school and college, spending eight years in that state. She studied Music and Theatre in Louisiana State University with specialty in improv comedy and a minor in Opera singing .

Her comedic style is largely inspired from her mother. She mostly does stand up and sketch comedy. She describes her comedy as traditional in the 'set up - punchline' kind of thing, but not traditional in terms of what she talks about, or what she looks like.

She has appeared on TruTV's Almost Genius, Rachel Dratch's Late Night Snack, as well as Montreal's "Just For Laughs" festival, AXS-TV's Live at Gotham, MTV's Girl Code and Guy Code and Netflix's The Characters.

She co-hosts a podcast named 'The Brighter Side' on Cave Comedy Radio with Ed Larson and Seena Jon. She also hosted the weekly comedy showcase, Live From Outer Space at Cobra Club in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. She has also been interviewed for a variety of podcasts and radio shows, including Dr. Lisa hosted by Lisa Levy on Radio Free Brooklyn.

She lives in Los Angeles, California

    • Quotes
      There are no bad open mics simply because, when you do open mics, you should be stretching every sense of you. It's like a boxer. When you're going into training, you've got to jump rope, you've got to push yourself, you've got to strain your muscles. You've got to go a little bit crazy. You've got to have people yell at you. You've got to have people disinterested. There's no such thing as a bad open mic. I think a comic should do every show and open mic they possibly can.
