Natalie Gray
Birmingham, UK
Natalie literally grew up in entertainment. Her father rehearsed with Ozzy Osbourne, opened for Tom Jones, the Who, the Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Queen and the Electric Light Orchestra and 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 hungry father but Natalie soon learned that being funny could get Mom’s attention quicker than a snazzy guitar riff! As her talents with a paintbrush grew, so did her passion for performing and she hit the stage at age 12 in the UK in her first starring role as Aladdin.
The Gray family moved to Canada, where Natalie continued to flourish, winning a national modelling contest and starring in over 100 episodes of Canadian television. She has 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, working hard at her dual careers.
A rare breed of comic being both funny and clean, her innocent, bright persona and compelling facial and physical dynamics draw frequent comparisons to Lucille Ball.
