ABOUT

A FEW WORDS ABOUT MYSELF

My parents knew off the bat that I wasn’t bound to be the next Albert ​Einstein when I asked, “Mommy, does the hen also have to go to the hospital ​when it lays its egg?” – I was twelve!

After I finished school, I studied acting and business in parallel. This combination brought​​ ​me into doing stand up comedy. Following a few months of performing,​ ​I blindly signed up to do a comedy competition, which I luckily won. ​From then on, I started applying for gigs in and outside of Austria. I wrote my own one woman show and ​performed in Germany and the United States​​ before mov​ing​ to Great Britain.

Besides comedy, my other focuses are on acting and screenwriting. I love being on stage and in front of the camera,​ while also exploring different​ stories and characters. As an artist, I love the freedom to work on my own projects, write scripts​,​ and give my voice​​​​ to topics and issues​ that​ I think are important and need to be seen and heard.​

INTERVIEW

LOS ANGELES (RECORDED DEC. 2009)

I recently had the privilege and the pleasure to interview Austrian comedian and actress Alice Frick. The funny performer is not only a rising comedy star in Austria and Germany. As of recently, she’s also standing in the spotlight on Hollywood’s big comedy stages. Reasons enough for me to ask her about her work on 2 continents. The full interview (2 videos on YouTube’s Indie Entertainment TV) is available to watch online – however, for those who prefer the written word, here are some of Alice’s highly entertaining answers:
