Nicole Asava has many uncles and many names.

It was a pleasure and a privilege to spend an hour on #NoSuggestionPod this week getting to know actor, director, improv coach and teacher, and comedian, Nicole Asava (@nicoleasava)! Co-host Aston Hollins (@astonhollins) and I really dug in with Nicole at Radio Free Brooklyn Studios this week as we chatted all about how Thai names change, pound cake, the 4 years Nicole spent in LA around the pandemic, where people of color are found in Burlington, VT, chasing RADA, nosey pugs, being a lonely child, and more! We also get a ton of hilarious and absurd improv scenes in, including a scene about a grandparent's deep disappointment at a book signing. Make sure to follow Nicole, and check out the next installment of the monthly show she directs at UCB (@ucbtny), THEATRE: The Improvised Play, Tuesday, February 25th! Also, sign up to take a comedy class with her at UCB or Brooklyn Comedy Collective (@comedybrooklyn). Nicole is so interesting, charming, and full of surprises, this episode was so electric. We know you'll dig getting to know Nicole as much as we did. No Suggestion: An Improv Comedy Talk Show is broadcast LIVE on Radio Free Brooklyn (@radiofreebk) every Thursday night at 11pm. Please subscribe, rate, and leave a review, that really helps us out.
