Nick Ross: HIGHLY EVOLVED HUMAN

A joyous comedy about Nick Ross(actlikenick.com)coming to terms his cancer. Nick was 26 years old and a rising star in the New York City comedy scene when he was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma. In his new show, "Highly Evolved Human," he acts out anecdotes, vignettes, and fantasies from his time spent in treatment. He must also literally make peace with his cancer, personified onstage by Leslie Meisel.

Written by Nick Ross & Graeme Hinde

Directed by Nate Smith and Leslie Meisel
