Hi there!

My name is Nicole Ketchledge and I'm a singer, actor, adventurer, jet ski tour guide, and lover of life--based in NYC/NJ! Does anyone ever say that except people who live in New Jersey and don't want to fully admit it? Fear not, I have closer commutes than all my friends who live in Bushwick ;)

​

As an actor, I've been praised for my emotional honesty and vulnerability, comedic timing, and fearless joy in improvisation. I love singing a variety of styles from legit classics and contemporary belting to rock, folk, and country.

​

Raised by the ocean in sunny Florida, I moved to the city to get my  BFA in Musical Theatre at NYU Tisch's New Studio on Broadway where I would also go on to do a Spanish minor and a semester of on-camera acting at Stonestreet Studios. In my junior year I was an exchange student at the Pontificia Catholic University of Santiago, Chile taking classes in their acting department such as Improv and Masks- all in Spanish!

​

After college, I worked with the REV Theatre Company in several filmed and touring productions, performed in touring musical FIVE with New York Children's Theatre, Guest Starred on Investigation Discovery's Evil Lives Here, and gotten super involved in the improv scene at UCB and the Magnet Theatre, honing my love for comedy. Catch me onstage, performing with my team, Stop Sign, at venues all over the city regularly! @stopsigncomedy​

​

In fall 2024, I signed with UGA for commercial and print modeling, and then shortly after joined the legit and musical theatre departments. Yay!!!

​

Outside of performing, I'm half teen boy, half grandma and enjoy snowboarding, yoga, travel, skateboarding,

reading, video games, surfing, crosswords, crafts, trying new things, seeing a ton of shows, and my cat. I have extensive experience working with children, pets and on boats- I'm currently a jet ski tour guide (yup, thats a thing) in the Hudson/East river and am a deckhand on a boat.

​

I desire to craft a career that blends my abilities and passion with the ability to benefit others; sprinkled with a big dash of adventure and the chance to live and work all over the world.

 

Come adventure with me!
