Amanda donated her kidney and saved two lives! From carrying her urine on the NYC subway to enduring needle-happy nurses to passing resounding farts, this whimsical comedy questions what it takes to be a “hero.”
Amanda Nicastro is a writer/comedian/actress living & working in New York City by way of Charlotte, NC. Other festival credits for I’m Just Kidneying include The Orlando International Fringe Festival, BOOM Fringe (Charlotte,NC), SoloCom Festival (NYC), Frigid Fringe Festival (NYC), and Estrogenius (NYC). If you would have asked college-aged Amanda, “Is your dream to write and produce your own work?” She would have said, “Heck, no! I want people to cast me in their stuff so all I have to do is memorize the lines.” But life throws you some delightful
curveballs. She holds a Bachelors in Theatre from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and has completed courses of study at Stella Adler Studio, LAByrinth Theater Company, & Upright
Citizens Brigade.
