Special Event: Corey Holcomb
Special Event: Corey Holcomb
Going from hanging in the hood to performing comedy on Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show,” Corey Holcomb’s comedy genius transcends class and racial divides. People all over the world can relate to the drama of trying to make a relationship work. According to Corey, a “hunter” (man) being captured by his “prey” (woman) makes for the best comedy ever.
You can believe there is no counselor on the planet who offers the kind of relationship advice and remedies Corey dispenses from the stage. Corey Holcomb’s comedy is both an auditory and visual experience. His facial gestures alone can make an audience burst with laughter.
Corey currently tours the country performing stand-up & his comedy/R&B songs. He also hosts his own podcast, "The Corey Holcomb 5150 Show," which began on The Foxxhole but later moved to YouTube and CoreyHolcomb.com. Corey can also be seen bringing funny to the big screen with his role as Boonie on Adult Swim’s “Black Jesus.”

Corey Holcomb will perform a stand-up comedy at a funeral if they're serving drinks. And he'll kill. A native of inner city Chicago, Corey's distinctive voice of what it means to be "ghetto" and what it takes to be a player makes him one the most engaging and appealing acts in comedy. No matter how cold his stories of poverty, street life, and women may be, he always warms you with his charming smile, and he certainly leaves you rolling with laughter.
Corey hit his first open mic in 1992 when Adele Givens called him to the stage. He was a smashing success and has been a full-time comedian ever since. He has taken top honors at the Miller Genuine D araft Comedy Search, Budweiser Comedy Competition, Chicago Home Jam, and Laffapalooza. He has appeared at the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival and the Chicago Comedy Festival.
Corey's film and television credits include 20th Century Fox's "Like Mike," a recurring role on UPN's "Half & Half," NBC's "The Tonight Show" and "Late Friday," Fox's "Mad TV," Comedy Central's "Premium Blend," HBO's "Def Comedy Jam," "It's Showtime at the Apollo," and BET's "Comic View."
