Writer. Actor. Comedian. It Girl.

A BIT ABOUT ME...

Nikita Redkar is a comedian and writer based in New York City originally from Texas. Her style is fun, flirty, and endearingly charismatic - much like the drunk girl you befriended in the bathroom last weekend. 

 

As a standup comedian, Nikita has performed all over the US and was described as an “Austin comedy staple” by TimeOut Magazine. She was a semifinalist in 2019’s Funniest Person in Austin contest, beating over 100 comedians for the spot. She also co-hosted the always sold-out, sex-positive comedy show, Naughty Bits and regularly opened for national comedians such as Jermaine Fowler and Sean Patton. In London, she performs in some of the city’s most popular venues - such as the Bill Murray Comedy Club. 

 

Nikita has a MA in Screenwriting from MetFilm School and also is an online content creator. She’s traveled to over 40 countries, is queer and Indian-American. In her free time she likes to play the guitar, party with friends and lovers, and discuss her private life way too loudly in restaurants.
