Natalie Cuomo may look tough covered in tattoos with a love for rock, but don’t let that fool you… She describes herself as “a very light and tender person.” Her best friend finds her “profoundly vulnerable yet still able to share the depth of the human condition.” Formally trained as an actor, a few years ago Cuomo made the switch over to comedy. It feels more authentic to her.

She’s earned her success so far with pure work ethic and hustle: Besides producing live shows in New York, she writes for publications and hosts or co-hosts multiple podcast shows. She has stretches of performing every single night of the week. Cuomo is known for her discourse on growing up in NYC, anxiety, her worldview, romance, and tattoos.
