About the Artists:
NICOLE MAXALI
In this snippet of "Forgetting the Details", Nicole pays tribute to all her lola Encar and her father, Junior.
Described by Comedian Dave Chappelle as "funny, heartwarming and funny again," this play is an endearing performance piece that will make you laugh, cry and remind you that in the end, it's not the details that matter.
Nicole began her artistic journey on stage at the age of sixteen. Since that first day she stepped onto the stage she has evolved creatively and spiritually through various artistic productions throughout the Bay Area. As a comic, Nicole has performed at The Purple Onion, San Jose Improv and opened for the legendary Dave Chappelle at the San Francisco Punchline and the New Parish in Oakland.
In 2008, Nicole Maxali wrote and performed her very first solo show under the tutelage of acclaimed comic/solo performer, W. Kamau Bell. With the help of W. Kamau Bell (The Solo Performance Workshop), Ann Randolph (Esalen Institute and The SF Marsh) and under the direction of Paul Stein (Comedy Central Stage), Nicole has developed her original piece "I Heart Lola" into the full length show called "Forgetting the Details".
