"Wigga Pleaze" screens at the Wilshire Screening Room (8670 Wilshire Blvd. #112; Beverly Hills) next Monday, Sept. 17 at 8pm.  Come early (7pm) for a catered reception, and stay late (till 11pm) to network with the NUEA!

"As coming-of-age stories go, this one is not particularly powerful or incisive.  However, Grossman is such a charismatic performer that we don’t care.  We are riveted to her every word and gesture during this 45-minute theatrical treat.  Briskly directed by Richard Embardo, “Girl in Argentine Landscape” is well worth a trip to the Gene Frankel Theatre." 
-Backstage

"A wonderful and endearing tale of self exploration...

Grossman is very talented -- her solo performance is entertaining and energetic while her script is humorous and witty...

...Her performance is thoroughly engaging and tremendously sincere... At times, the acting felt so natural and candid, that I found myself almost thinking of Naomi as a friend.

While this play does raise some interesting questions about identity, it is ultimately light-hearted and fun: you’ll come out feeling good about yourself and of course, wanting to travel to Argentina."

Had a blast shooting "Bakersfield, Earth" this weekend. Such a hilariously talented cast and crew!

In case you haven't checked out my YouTube channel, it's an ENDLESS source of sage advice, and a RIVETING summer read!

My interview with NYTheatre.com: http://www.nytheatre.com/Nytheatrenow/QandA/naomi-grossman-girl-in-argentine-landscape

Woah. Just learned of this morning's Emmy nominations: American Horror Story is tied with Mad Men for the most nominations. 17! Nice time to be joining the show!

In a web series, debuting at the Downtown Independent next Tuesday.

Perhaps my favorite anecdote from this recent run in Taos: a woman came to the box office with ten bucks and a dozen eggs from her coop. She got in.

BEAUTIFUL REVELATION: In 3 days, I made more doing self-produced theatre in the boonies than I make in 2 weeks at my very respectable, survival job in Los Angeles.

Just did a press junket at KGEM-TV for the Action on Film International Film Festival!

I've just been informed that people are STILL trying to make reservations... FOLKS! The show is OVER!!! The 21 messages you left with reservations an hour prior to showtime just about killed my 73 y/o mother running the box office! She is convalescing, and I have skipped town!!

Got about the nicest compliment ever last night, when a man after the show said, "that was the best hour he'd spent in years."

OY. Only in Taos do you consider adding a 3rd performance to a given night, 4 hours before it's supposedly going to happen.

I'm such a sucker for a standing O!

WOW! All 3 shows, completely sold-out! Adding a 4th performance: Saturday matinee at 5! (The Metta Theatre; 1470 Paseo del Pueblo Norte, El Prado, NM; Tix/info: 575-776-8657)

Thrilled to be acting along side the comic genii Ethan Sandler, Missi Pyle, and Artemis Pebdani in writer/director David Quantic's "Bakersfield, Earth." If you can give a little to the kickstarter campaign, please do. (You know I don't come cheap. JK!)

Another nice write-up in TaosNews.com.

Just booked a recurring role on FX's "American Horror Story!"

TAOSEÑOS! This one's for you: http://www.facebook.com/events/239112342867158/

Got cast as another yoga guru... Madness ensues! http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/b303a8582c/one-ups-yoga

Yo, Wigga goin to the Action on Film International Film Festival, holla! (Burka Girls have been invited too, though are being repressed from competition.)

Take a look at this new, mock informercial I'm in: http://www.imdb.com/video/wab/vi17867289/ I play a horribly unattractive (but skinny!) kidnapping victim (which, as we all know, are INHERENTLY HILARIOUS).

I wrote a couple pieces for this show... Fun night, guaranteed! http://nueashowpocalypse.eventbrite.com Promo code: GROSSMAN for a discount!

Thrilled to have been invited back to the New York International Fringe Festival-- this time with my first solo show, "Girl in Argentine Landscape."

The 411 on the new, stoner comedy I'm in: Dr. 420!

I'm thrilled to announce the big screen debut of "Wigga Pleaze!" (http://youtu.be/T0uQ1vtn3pc) An official selection of the upcoming 11th LA Comedy Festival, April 20-26!

Here's what's happening RIGHT NOW in London!! http://www.moorsbar.com/filmsshowing

Last Monday I had two auditions before 10:10am (they happened to be across the hall from one another). Today I learned I booked them both. I'd say that was a profitable 10 minutes!

London's FEAST ON FILM will be featuring "Men at Work" (http://youtu.be/n_Ub29WhOSo) and "Ready to Settle" (http://youtu.be/P2SNyjEBLFg) at their upcoming short film night! Wed, Mar. 21; doors at 7pm, films at 8pm. Free entry. @ Moors Bar, 57 Park Road, Crouch End, London N8 8SY.

"Touch My Junk" (http://youtu.be/o6PA0anBrzk) is slated to screen at the "Wet Your Pants Comedy Film Festival" in Indianapolis, April 21 at 12:30 pm.

Attn: East Coast! My film, "Men at Work" (http://youtu.be/n_Ub29WhOSo) is playing THIS WEEKEND at the LA Comedy Shorts East Coast Encore, presented by the Connecticut Film Festival! It's a SERIOUSLY HILARIOUS line-up, so if you can get there, do it! (That's Feb. 24-26 at the Mark Twain Theater in Hartford, CT.) Visit http://www.lacomedyshortseastcoast.com/ for tix, schedule and more details.

Thrilled to be following my commercial agent to Mavrick Artists Agency! 

"Burka Girls Gone Wild" (http://youtu.be/3WL5f0c7s7Q) has also been accepted into the Faux Film Festival, Mar. 30-Apr. 1, in Portland, OR.

A big, boisterous audience awaited me this weekend in Boulder City. (This was my view from the Q&A.)

Here's what I'm doing this weekend!

"Men At Work" (http://youtu.be/n_Ub29WhOSo) is slated to screen at the Connecticut Film Festival, Feb. 24-26, at the Mark Twain Theatre in Hartford, CT!

"Men At Work" (http://youtu.be/n_Ub29WhOSo), apparently an "audience favorite" at the TriMedia Film Festival, has been slated to re-screen as part of their "Best of TMFF Comedy Tonight Tour" at Loveland, CO's Rialto Theatre on March 17!

"Paradrunken Activity" (http://youtu.be/7ckbMNQJEOA) has just been accepted into the Faux Film Festival; Mar. 30-Apr. 1, in Portland, Oregon!

It's always a nice feeling when a programmer special requests you to please submit to their film festival, all fees waived!

Naomi's on the CW tonight, 8/7c! Check out "Table for Three," starring Brandon Routh, Sophia Bush, and Jesse Bradford. She's the nightmare roommate with the big afro-wig, expounding upon her vagina. (But of course!)
