Talent Biography

Nikki Carr was raised by a single mom who asked her daily why she was so silly all the time, but never told her to stop, thus setting the course for the successful stand-up comedy career she enjoys today.

Her trials and tribulations as a woman, mother, grandmother and lesbian have provided rich comedic material for Carr, and she's woven it all into fiercely funny performances. She has been entertaining audiences at clubs, colleges and military bases all over the United States and the world, including Iraq, Bagdad, Kuwait, London and Germany.

Carr began her comedy career at age 34 at the New York Comedy Club and made her television debut on BET's "Comic View" in 2000. She appeared in "One Mic Stand," Charlie Murphy's "Crash Comedy," "Martin Lawrence Presents 1st Amendment Stand Up" and Showtime's "Stand Up for Family." Well known for her signature song "The Fat Girl's National Anthem," Carr has also appeared on "It's Showtime at the Apollo." She went on to become a household name with her stellar 2nd place finish on NBC’s Last Comic Standing in 2014 while drawing praise from the judges (Russell Peters, Roseanne Barr & Keenan Ivory Wayans) throughout the competition. They were so impressed with Nikki that Russell Peters asked her to tour with him which she did.
