Natalie Badillo
Director
Natalie “Nat” Badillo is an award-winning creative director, screenwriter, performer, New Yorker cartoonist and stand-up comic who’s performed with Reggie Watts, Melissa Villaseñor, Theo Von, Mark Normand, and other comedy greats. She’s produced and hosted sold-out shows in NYC and LA and debuted her one woman show Cake & Violence to 5-star acclaim at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Nat’s from a Mexican-American family in the Bay Area, where she attended Stanford University and majored in mechanical engineering (random, she knows). She played for the varsity soccer team and won an NCAA National Championship, which really doesn’t matter, but her dad still brags about it all the time.
Most importantly: she’s absolutely stoked to be directing I Hope You Heal. She hopes you’ll come to heal.
