Corey O’Brien On Community, Cult-Like Fandom, Reaching The Mainstream, & More! | Ep 51

Dustin Kaufman of the Comedy Club KC is joined by comedian Corey O'Brien! Fresh off a sold out show, Corey talks about building his fiercely loyal fanbase, breaking stereotypes as a gay male comedian, and how he’s pushing comedy beyond labels into the mainstream. He opens up about using stand-up as a form of therapy, and his journey from professional dancer to viral performer to headlining comic, all in under two years. The two discuss social media’s impact on comedy, the loneliness of touring, supportive parents, and owning your truth on stage.You can find Corey O'Brien touring in a city near you by checking his upcoming shows: https://www.coreyobrienonline.com/FOLLOW The Comedy Club of Kansas City on socials:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecomedyclubkc/?hl=en- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheComedyClubKC- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thecomedyclubkc
