Cory Kahaney

Today I am interviewing Cory Kahaney, a comedian born in New York, NY who has been doing comedy for seventeen years. To find out more about Cory, please visit her website.

Why did you start doing stand-up comedy?

Because I couldn't dance.

What was your first year doing stand-up comedy like?

It was great because I was a beginner and I could make mistakes, knowing there was time to improve. I don't know if I thought it was great back then, but I knew it was exciting and new.

How do you feel about freedom of speech and political correctness and stand-up comedy?

I stand by our right to free speech - but I also know words are powerful. We are not pundits, or teachers, we are joke tellers, entertainers, nothing more, so as long as it's funny...
