帕洛玛·努涅斯，Paloma Nuñez is a multi-faceted, award-winning American-Canadian performer from Chicago, Illinois. Paloma was born in the icy grip of Chicago and her parents promptly decided, "this place is too cold" so they moved to Florida when she was just one year old. It was there that Paloma thought her life would consist of golden sun tans, frolicking on the beach, eating oysters on the half shell. To her horror, her parents then decided, "this place is too hot", and when she was just eight years old, she was moved to Northern Ontario to a mining town called Sudbury. Her parents decided that Sudbury was "juuuuuust right". Paloma's olive skin turned green for 8 months of the year and the sun became a long lost friend. Out of solidarity with the sun she refused to learn to ice skate, a solemn promise that she's kept to this day. It was in Canada that Paloma discovered her love for performing. Her professional career began in Toronto after she graduated from the University of Guelph (majoring in Drama and Math; yes...math). She completed the Second City Training Centre's Conservatory Program and scooped herself up a husband, Kevin Whalen, while she was doing it! She began to perform all over Toronto with The Second City, The Bad Dog Theatre, The Impatient Theatre Company and at Comedy Bar. This comedic path led Paloma to the successful career she has today. Since her humble beginnings, Paloma has gone on to win a Canadian Comedy Award (for "Best Live Ensemble' with the all-star cast of She The People), a Screen Actors Guild Award (for her performance in Spotlight - Academy Award Winner for 'Best Picture'). She has been nominated for several Canadian Comedy Awards, several My Entertainment Awards, and she is currently nominated for a Dora Mavor Moore Award (the Canadian Tonys), for her work in Wonder Pageant. Currently, Paloma is an actor, comedian, director and voice artist performing across theatre, TV and film. Paloma played Sparky in NBC Sprout's live action show Terrific Tr
