The Hollywood Reporter named Nick Vatterott one of the “break-outs” at his Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival debut. Since then he has performed on Conan, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Comics Unleashed, AXS TV, What's Your F@%king Deal and has a Half Hour special on Comedy Central. Nick was a producer/writer/performer on Comedy Central’s stand-up sketch hybrid show Mash Up. He's written for MTV, The Critic's Choice Awards, Gorburger and Real Time with Bill Maher. He's done panel on Red Eye and made an appearance on TRU TV's Friends Of The People. His album 'FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY' was named one of the TOP TEN albums of the year by Vulture, Laughspin and Splitsider. Splitsider also recently highlighted him in their "ON THE VERGE" series. Vulture named him in their list of THE 50 comedians you should know. He was the recipient of the prestigious Andy Kaufman Award and won a Webby for his podcast Heavyweight: A Sketch Show. Before heading off to NYC, Chicago Magazine listed Nick as “The Funniest Man in Chicago.” Nick Vatterott’s comedy has been called high-energy, improvisational, unconventional, outside the box, but most of all hilarious! (He never calls is that, but you better believe he'll throw that compliment in his bio!!!)
