NATALIE GRAY
Born in Birmingham, England into a rock ‘n’ rollfamily, Natalie literally grew up in entertainment.
Her father rehearsed with Ozzy Osbourne, opened forTom Jones, the Who, the Moody Blues, Pink Floyd,
Queen and the Electric Light Orchestra.
The first 3 years of Natalie’s life were spent on the road
being babysat by strippers.
The competition for Mommy’s affection was pretty
intense between a small child and a limelight hungryfather but Natalie soon learned that being funny couldget Mom’s attention quicker than a snazzy guitar riff!
She hit the stage at age 12 in the UK and starred as
Aladdin at age 13 (the only member of an all adult
theatre company). When the rock star lifestyle almost
broke up the family, the Grays moved to Canada where
a more normal family life could finally begin.
In Canada, Natalie continued to flourish, winning a
national modelling contest at 18, being cast as a lead in a
teen soap and doing a successful 3 year run as a host on live
children’s television!
Natalie has since done over 100 episodes of Canadiantelevision and been nominated for
6 ACTRA awards for
hosting, interviewing and acting.
She studied for 2 years with Toronto’s Second City, following
which she had her own successful improv troupe.
Natalie studied acting in Toronto, Frankfurt, New York and L.A.
where she now lives.
A rare breed of comic, funny and clean, her innocent, bright
persona and compelling facial and physical
dynamics draw frequent comparisons to Lucille Ball.
Her comedy has been called “timeless” and “classic” and “a modern day Mary Tyle Moore”
She recently won “Best New Comic in the Valley” in L.A.
and shot 2 shows for E! Entertainment which currently air nationally.
