Nina Conti’s latest feature, Sunlight, which she directed and stars in opposite co-writer Shenoah Allen, opens at the Quad in New York City on June 6. Comedian and ventriloquist Conti has won a British Comedy Award for storming Live at the Apollo, a BBC New Comedy Award, and a Grierson Award, and made a BAFTA-nominated film – all without moving her lips. She recently completed filming Spinal Tap 2, with Rob Reiner directing, and is currently taking her new live show, Whose Face is it Anyway?, on a world tour. Her television credits include QI, Russell Howard’s Good News, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled and Christopher Guest’s HBO series Family Tree and she has made three documentary features, including Clowning Around and Her Master’s Voice, in which she took the bereaved puppets of her mentor, Ken Campbell, to a puppet graveyard in Kentucky.
