==Early life==
As a young child living outside [[Pittsburgh]], Palamides made comedic [[home video]]s in her backyard. She would do [[unit of action|bits]] in the corridors at school. [[Disney]] productions and the ''[[Austin Powers]]'' movie series were early influences. Studying at the [[Indiana University of Pennsylvania]], Palamides was inspired by the European [[clown]] tradition that her theater professor introduced her to. During college, Palamides performed group improvisation with the [[Pig Iron Theatre Company]].<ref name="Vulture Inside">{{cite web|url=https://www.vulture.com/2020/09/natalie-palamides-nate-netflix-comedy-special.html|title=Allow Natalie Palamides to Dominate You|work=[[Vulture (magazine)|Vulture]]|last=Shaw|first=Helen|date=September 3, 2020|accessdate=September 3, 2022|archive-date=September 3, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220903201944/https://www.vulture.com/2020/09/natalie-palamides-nate-netflix-comedy-special.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Aspiring to work at ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', Palamides moved to [[Los Angeles]] and joined the [[Upright Citizens Brigade]] after college. She began voice-over and commercial work. She also took classes on clown performance at the Idiot Workshop and the Lyric Hyperion. Early sketches featured Palamides' characters: fantasizing about eating salad from a man's pants; complaining to the manager of sandwich shop Eggslut as an [[anthropomorphic]] egg; and insisting on being literally objectified. Through her classes, variety shows and [[open mic]] shows, she began developing longer-form performance from improvisations in unusual outfits.<ref name="Vulture Inside"/>

Natalie Palamides (born January 6, 1990) is an American actress, comedian and television writer.[1]

Career[edit]

Aspiring to work at Saturday Night Live, Palamides moved to Los Angeles and joined the Upright Citizens Brigade after college. She began voice-over and commercial work. She also took classes on clown performance at the Idiot Workshop and the Lyric Hyperion. Early sketches featured Palamides' characters: fantasizing about eating salad from a man's pants; complaining to the manager of sandwich shop Eggslut as an anthropomorphic egg; and insisting on being literally objectified. Through her classes, variety shows and open mic shows, she began developing longer-form performance from improvisations in unusual outfits.[2]

Palamides took the egg costume from her sketch and used it to make her first hour-long show, Laid.[2]

Palamides developed the exaggeratedly masculine character Nate, from her work with the Pig Iron Theatre Company, into an hour-long performance, Nate – A One Man Show.[3] Members of the audience participate, such as by wrestling Nate, with audience consent and sexual consent as themes. After winning the Total Theatre Award at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, it was commissioned by Amy Poehler's production company Paper Kite and released on Netflix on December 1, 2020.[2] Critics widely acclaimed Nate for its provocative performance, regarding it as an innovative break with "Netflix's mainstream comedy brand."[4]

Palamides starred as Buttercup in the 2016 Powerpuff Girls animated television series.[5][6]

She won Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards in 2017.

Palamides plays the character "Mara" in TV commercials for Progressive Insurance.[7]

She also co-hosts the Disney-themed podcast Hidden Mickeys alongside Carrie Poppy.

Palamides played a horror movie–style clown, Funzo, in Apocalypse Clown (2023). The low-budget comedy film won Best Irish Film at the Galway Film Fleadh.[8][9] Though reviews had mixed opinions towards the humour and writing, Funzo was acclaimed.[10][11] Simon Henderson of Blazing Minds lauded that Palamides "ranges from seeming innocence to apparent insanity, sometimes in the same scene".[12] Digital Spy's Ian Sandwell praised her "deranged and hilarious" performance, particularly for minor comedic details such as a scene in which her character removes her clown nose.[13]
