e your thoughts I'm very funny I love that yes Queen I love the confence I'm just going to call it I no I'm I'm just kidding no you're not no you're not own it I love it uh how how are you enjoying things in New York it's a little cold here I'm sorry it is a little cold here you wouldn't know by the way that I'm dressed but I look like I'm going on vacation but I love it I'm I'm I'm live in LA this is such a great City and I had a bird poop on my head I did the wrong Subway I love it here though
I want to stay yeah you know I need my show to stay put Roots down yeah okay so tell us a little bit about the show because I said you know you're turning lemons into a one woman show this you this is autobiographical is it not yeah walk us through it so it you know it deals with familial trauma debt divorce um shame and then getting yourself out of that by taking a job as a as a spray Tanner and you know us a lot of topics that when life gives you lemon go go work at a spray tan Place go GTO I
mean you got to take a job as a spray tan to get out of to to get out of it but you know but you know what's funny is when we were going over this in the morning meeting our producer Brit said that that she mentioned that you did that and in my head I go oh God the people she must have met yes exactly and it really you know when I was going through all of this I I I very much created a Nicole that I thought people you know wanted me to be and so when everything was you know at rock bottom and I
was climbing my way out of this and I took this job it really unlocked a lot of parts of me that I was absorbing these characters that I was meeting which really lended itself to not only talking about the debt add addtion to spending things like that but it it gave me an opportunity to take on characters that I never would have been able to to to other because you had no space for it was this was this always part of your your your blood I mean your bloodline list you were the the niece of John
trola but did you always want to perform did you know that you wanted to get into the Performing Arts always from the time that I was I don't know three or four I used to make my mom me and pass out Academy Awards to me on post oh my god post I've always wanted to do word goes to oh me again and I couldn't pronounce my R so it was Nicole wo to bolon and if she didn't say it exactly right I'd make her do it again like no second time you have to get it right my wow oh my God okay uh you know you
I'm just laughing at the thought of I know so you have the show it is going to a place like the iconic Soho Playhouse here in New York City I you know you you take something that's very personal and you turn it into laughs Y and so I can imagine that the people sitting in the audience are going to take something different from it depending on who they're showing up as what do you hope people walk away from the show with I really wanted people to go through the Journey in real time with me and it
was a very chaotic point of my life and it was very hard for me but turning it into something that's making people laugh and bringing them Joy but also the things that are staying with me the most are the people that are coming up to me after going we have had such shame especially women around this topic and we related so much this I mean last night a woman I talk about a credit score and the woman was like I feel that I feel that in the middle of the opp so it's it's just the connection that
is bringing me such joy and I think opening up you know a part of life that people don't really talk about this that much there's a ton of Shame surrounding this specific topic so and by the specific topic you mean spending the spending the out of control spending the debt the credit cards things like that you know did anyone teach you about Finance cuz no one taught me about me no no no one has still no one's teach taught me to this day we still don't know day um well you know who doesn't talk
about her money because she doesn't have to because she's Filthy Rich a character from White Lotus uh she goes by the name of Jennifer kulage I understand you you know her at least I do well I don't know her personally but I essentially feel like she lives deep inside of my body at this point because I noticed myself even starting to talk like her at some point it would up do something and people be like that's Jennifer coolage that's not Nicole I'm like oh right my God hold on let me walk out a
nd come back in yeah can you uh can you I think do we have her doing an impression or are you going to do an impression for us I will do an impression do you want me to do Jennifer coolage pleas okay oh God I'm just so grateful to be here you know in this this beautiful room there's so many so many good-looking men and there beautiful w women I love your your shoes they're brown have you thank you thank you Miss coage have you met her no you're going to soon want to you will where does she live
