Splitting his time between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Nick launched Don't Tell Comedy's Las Vegas branch in January 2019. The nationwide pop-up stand-up series keeps the venue and lineup secret until show day, so every show feels like an inside invite. Since then, he has produced 125+ shows and worked with hundreds of comics from across the country, in rooms ranging from local coffee shops, bars, and retail stores to casino properties on the Strip like Park MGM and Fontainebleau. He also produces events at The Doberman, a Downtown Las Vegas social club made for real conversation.
On the political side, he has spent years alongside organizers in Nevada and California, helping progressive campaigns find the words and strategies that move people, training volunteers, and bringing everyday people face to face with their lawmakers. He is certified in NGP VAN/EveryAction and has led trainings with Planned Parenthood Federation of America's headquarters teams in Washington, D.C., and New York.
Whether it's a comedy crowd or a coalition, the work is the same: get people in the room and give them a reason to stay.
