Kelsey Cook | The Hustler (Full Comedy Special)

Published 2023-03-10
Kelsey got divorced one week before the pandemic. Perfect timing. So while her friends used the time to get sober or get fit, Kelsey spent the pandemic getting used to divorced life. The Highs: peeing in the shower without her husband's judgement. The lows: watching ASMR videos on YouTube to feel less alone. Lucky for us, she wrote jokes about all of it. So now we can hear about it in her hilarious new hour, The Hustler.
In Kelsey reflects on love and sex with the detached wisdom of a guru. She wonders if her marriage was doomed from the start, given that her husband had to give up peanut butter when they got together because of her severe allergy. She talks about the rush she gets from hustling drunk guys in bars who don't know she's a world-champion foosball player.
Shot in the beloved Comedy Works in Denver, Colorado and directed by Eric Abrams, creator of This is Not Happening on Comedy Central, Kelsey delivers an hour of sharply-observed comedy that speaks directly to anyone who's lved, lost or woken up in Vegas without a shred of dignity left

Dedicated to my mom, Kathy. Thank you for always being my biggest cheerleader, even when my jokes are dirty. The only thing you’re better at than playing foosball is being a mom, and that’s saying a lot when you’re in the Foosball Hall of Fame. You’re my hero and I love you.

Wow. You can tell she put a lotta time into this. So many call-backs, tags, and smooth transitions. I laughed way more while watching this then I did watching some recent ‘high-profile’ comedians’ specials. Hope this gets huge numbers, you deserve it Kelsey!

Legit the funniest female comedian ever. Really happy to have come across her.

1st time hearing her comedy, she's great 💯

She had great timing. Her transitions were flawless. She did a little bit of crowd work, which was fantastic and very witty. I loved that she would go back to things she said in previous jokes. Like talk about Wendell and her Gin and Ham joke. One of the best female comic specials I've seen in a long time. Great job Kelsey.

"who has a drinking problem" "who is settling" I'm in stitches laughing.
