Kelsey Cook grew up in a world where humor was as essential as breakfast, thanks to her unique childhood as the daughter of an International Yo-Yo Champion and a Professional Foosball player. These distinctive influences shaped her comedic style, leading her to become a vibrant personality in the comedy scene. Earlier this year, she released her stand-up special on EPIX’s Unprotected Sets, capturing the attention of audiences with her sharp wit and engaging performance.
Kelsey's talent earned her a late-night debut on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, a milestone that was soon followed by an appearance on A Little Late with Lilly Singh on NBC.
