Who is Nick Mestad?

Nick Mestad is one of the five improvisers in Olestra, a team of old friends and seasoned players who are all alumni of the Second City, the Annoyance and iO in Chicago. The team plays fast, rowdy, deep-dish Chicago improv, and its New York festival billing casts the five, tongue in cheek, as Chicago outlaws who make out and brawl on stage. Alongside Mestad are Andy Junk, Micah Sterenberg, Devin Bockrath and Dan Bazaldua. For the 2026 New York Comedy Festival, Olestra took the stage at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective on a Friday bill with the New York team Duchovny. [1][2]
