Naomi Grossman was a 2018 Primetime Emmy nominee for “Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama” for her role in Ctrl Alt Delete. Best known as the first crossover character, the fan-favorite “Pepper” on FX’s hit anthology series, American Horror Story: Asylum & Freak Show, Naomi also appeared as a new character, the Satanist “Samantha Crowe” in the eighth season, Apocalypse, as well as “Rabid Ruth” in the spin-off series, American Horror Stories.

Fans may also recognize her from cameos in the following feature films: "Table for Three," "The Chair," "1BR," "Sky Sharks," "Bite Me," "Painkillers," "The Lurker," "Murder RX," "The Portal," "Preacher Six," "An Accidental Zombie (Named Ted)," and "Fear, Inc."

Naomi prides herself on having paved her own, albeit unorthodox path to mainstream success by writing, producing and starring in several autobiographical solo shows. Her latest, "Carnival Knowledge: Love, Lust, and other Human Oddities," enjoyed a twice-extended, sold-out run and rave reviews. It was then reprised at the world-famous fringe theatre festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, where it received more critical praise. 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 and earned her an LA Weekly Theatre Award nomination for best solo performance.

Her numerous self-penned/produced, comedic shorts have screened at nationwide film festivals and are available for view on comedy sites like FunnyOrDie. Naomi is a theatre graduate of Northwestern University, and a veteran of the legendary Groundlings Sunday Company.
