Corey Holcomb, Speedy's Comedy Corner
Corey’s comedic genius transcends class and racial divides – he’s gone from hanging in the hood to performing comedy on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show. According to Corey, a "hunter" (man) being captured by his "prey" (woman) makes for the best comedy ever. Corey offers advice to how men who have been the victim of a "hostile takeover" take back control. Corey’s comedy set is both an auditory and visual experience. His facial gestures can make an audience burst with laughter. “I spend a lot of time practicing my stage faces because I need to be able to convey care and concern while I criticize.” Corey has a diverse resume of successes but he remains humble and approachable. He makes the most of his film, television, and standup opportunities in order to build a career that reflects his true talent and abilities.
