“Just think about the end goal, not necessarily how your going to get there, sometimes you’ll get there in the most unexpected ways” - Naomi talking about her path and consciousness. Naomi Grossman holds the distinguished honor of playing the first crossover character, the fan-favorite, “Pepper” on FX’s American Horror Story: Asylum & Freak Show. She was also named one of IMDb's "Top 10 Breakout Stars" of 2014. Naomi prides herself on having paved her own, albeit unorthodox way to mainstream success by writing, producing and starring in several hit solo shows. Her latest, Carnival Knowledge: Love, Lust, and other Human Oddities, enjoyed a twice-extended, sold-out run and rave reviews (“Recommended” by LA Weekly). It was then reprised at the world-famous fringe theatre festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, where it received more critical praise (4 stars: The Scotsman, Broadway Baby, Fringe Review) and a transfer to London’s West End (Leicester Square Theatre). It later went on to have a successful run Off-Off Broadway. Naomi’s first solo endeavor, Girl in Argentine Landscape, also received critical acclaim (LA Weekly, “Pick of the Week”) and earned her an LA Weekly Theatre Award nomination for best solo performance. Naomi toured with Girl to Chicago's Single File Festival, the Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Festival, the New York International Fringe Festival, and screened a subtitled video-version on the big screen in Argentina. A graduate of theatre from Northwestern University, as well as a former member of the esteemed Groundlings Sunday Company, Naomi has written, produced, and starred in numerous comedic shorts under her “Red Meat Entertainment” banner, which have screened at the LA Comedy Shorts Film Festival, the TriMedia Film Festival, the Connecticut Film Festival, the Dam Short Film Festival, the Faux Film Festival, the Los Angeles Comedy Festival, the Wet Your Pants Comedy Film Festival, the Action On Film International Festival, and the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival. Naomi has made cameos in several feature films, namely Table for Three, The Chair, Fear, Inc., Sky Sharks, and Short Stack.
