Since then, Nesil has been in the Seattle International Comedy Competition, Bumbershoot, and has also preformed with Comedy greats like Franqi French(NBC), Joe List(Comedy Central), Adam Conover (Netflix), Nimesh Patel(SNL), and Janeane Garofalo, who told Nesil she liked her name.

We know The Nest means a lot to so many of you, and we’d love to hear some of your stories. Comment below with your favorite Nest memory, and we’ll keep you updated on our progress soon!
