Marina & Nicco have written, directed, produced, and consulted for almost 20 years.
Hi! We’re Marina & Nicco. We’re an award-winning writing and directing team based in New York. Our work has appeared on Comedy Central, Fusion, The New Yorker, Audible, Wondery, Radiotopia, College Humor, Funny or Die, as well as many stages throughout New York. We’ve been playwrights-in-residence at a number of theaters, including Ars Nova, The Flea, and more. We’ve also consulted for Audible, the ESPYs, Disney, and Adult Swim, among others, and worked for The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater as teachers. (Marina also served as an Academic Director for The UCB, specializing in The UCB’s writing programming. Nicco has also taught storytelling for The Moth.)
Our longtime collaboration hasn’t just transcended our differences, but been deeply enriched by them. Nicco’s Black, Marina’s White. Nicco’s a man, Marina’s a woman. Nicco’s Palestinian, Marina’s Jewish. Our collaboration has led us to write comedies that center around questions of identity, while delighting, thrilling, and shocking our audiences. We love to write genre-bending pieces that are grounded in comedy — and that have our audiences laughing on the edge of their seats.
