Beginnings of a Stellar Career

The unique brand of humor of stand-up comedian and actor Corey Holcomb regularly exceeds the expectations of audiences. He developed a knack for presenting himself as a laid back performer, enticing the audience with his stories as he slowly builds up to comedic endings. In reality, he is a dynamo who adheres to a rigorous comedy tour schedule and has seen his popularity regularly grow. By 2016, he was doing 13 shows a year at places like Cobb's Comedy Club in San Francisco and the Fox Theatre Detroit in Detroit. The 2017 comedy tour included more than 40 shows at high profile venues like Carolines on Broadway in New York, NY; Chrysler Hall in Norfolk, VA; and the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, CA. Holcomb keeps the fast pace going in 2018 as he crisscrosses the U.S. from DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. to the Stardome Comedy Club in Hoover, AL, to the Helium Comedy Club in St. Louis, MO and onward to Irvine Improv in Irvine, CA, plus many more stops along the way. At the same time, Holcomb added acting on television and in movies to his accomplishments. He has appeared in three TV comedy specials of his own, and many other shows, including Showtime's "Shaq's All Star Comedy Jam." Prolific performer Holcomb has also guest starred on several sitcoms, including "Tyler Perry's House of Payne," "Half & Half" and The Cleveland Show. His roles in "Black Jesus" (2014) and "The Wedding Ringer" (2015) won him acclaim as a talented movie actor. Holcomb has won numerous honors at nationally recognized events like the Budweiser Comedy Competition and Laffapalooza. Continued Fame and an Expanded Career Corey Holcomb was born in June, 1968 in inner city Chicago, Illinois. He is married and has three children. In 1992, Holcomb delivered his first open mic comedy routine when Adele Givens invited him to come on stage, and he has been making people laugh ever since. Holcomb is proud of his first appearance on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno in 2001 which earned him national recognition. In every role he plays, Holcomb uses the language of comedy to appeal to people of all races, genders and economic status. Holcomb expertly delivers an irreverent humorous male perspective of relationships with women, and nothing is sacred. His distinctive humor is applied to what he calls honest and true stories of life and relationships. Laughing at Life Holcomb doubles audiences over with laughter as he gives his perspective on growing up in inner city Chicago, maneuvering through street life and relationships between men and women. Holcomb has developed a distinctive brand as an edgy comedian who calls himself the "Ghetto Dr. Phil" and is willing to take on any topic, including those people avoid. He enjoys giving away the tricks and secrets of men who are in a perpetual state of confusion about women, discussing dating, how marriage really works, sex, raising a family and divorce. Truly innovative, Holcomb applied his particular brand of social commentary to the "Corey Holcomb 5150 Show," streamed on Ustream.

    When I tell you Corey Holcomb is one of the funniest comedians out, I mean it! Laughs from the time he came out all the way until he left. A true legend in the comedy game that deserves all props and recognition. 10/10 would recommend everyone check out his show in a city near you.

    One of the best comedians of all time

    by Dray on 10/25/23Town Hall - New York

    Corey Holcomb puts on one of the best gut busting, hold your sides comedy shows you will find. He has 2 opening acts that he hand picks that are funny as well, shouts out to Marvin Phipps (spelling?). Corey does a lot of audience interaction and does go short on his time or the jokes. He gives a comedic spin on real life taboo topics most are too afraid to touch and gives some self reflection on his own life experiences. I highly recommend any see Corey Holcomb when he is in town. You won’t regret it.

    It wasn't his best show from previous shows!!!

    by E- Money on 9/19/23The Chicago Theatre - Chicago

    Well, there was no MC for the show, so Corey MC the all the show, along with giving his performance between acts. The 1st comdiean was not very good but I get, he wanted to talk about the world we living in. Second, prior to the show, they locked up everyone's phone so u couldn't share it to social media, he lost me on that one. You would thought he he wanted all the publicity he can get. Hopefully he comes around again he will have a MC and couple better comdieans on the lineup.
