Nate Shelkey is first and foremost, a Virginian. After that he is an actor-writer-musician(hyphenate!) who moved to New York City because it was more exciting than Virginia.

Nate started improvising in 2001. In addition to the loveable Wiener Dog, he performs at the Upright Citizen's Brigade with the house team Arsenal. It is also possible to spy him at Variety Underground.

He has appeared on television on ESPN in Kenny Mayne's The Mayne Event, the PBS mini-series Windy Acres, MTV's Damage Control, and a brilliantly nuanced performance as a Secret Serviceman on Jeff Foxworthy's Roast for Comedy Central.

It is not inconceivable to see Nate whoring himself in a commercial from time to time. Finally, he is singer/songwriter who writes hooky pop with his band, Huckleberry Slim.
