Send us a text

Comedian and writer Corey Marshall joins us to share his unexpected journey into the world of stand-up comedy. Imagine turning a life-altering event like a divorce into an opportunity for reinvention. Corey did just that, boldly stepping onto the stage for his first-ever one-man show without any prior experience. His fearless leap into comedy not only led to a successful debut but also caught the attention of influencers from New York's Caroline Comedy Club. However, it wasn't all smooth sailing—Corey reflects on the humbling experiences of witnessing fellow comedians bomb on stage, teaching him resilience and the importance of maintaining confidence in the face of potential failure. With 13 years in the industry, Corey offers insights into the hard-won lessons that have shaped his comedic career.

From being inspired by legends like Bill Cosby, Dave Chappelle, and Eddie Murphy, Corey's journey has evolved from stand-up to exciting new ventures in writing. He shares how the storytelling finesse of these iconic figures and shows like Comic Relief and the Blue Collar Comedy Tour have influenced his comedic style. Transitioning from the stage to creative writing, Corey explores opportunities in script punch-ups and even ventures into crafting horror and metaverse-themed comic book series. We also discuss practical tips for aspiring comedians and the significance of embracing one's unique voice.
