You can’t knock her laughs or the hustle.
In 2020, Kelsey Cook got divorced one week before the pandemic. Perfect timing.
So while her friends used the time to get sober or fit, Kelsey spent the pandemic getting used to divorced life.
The Highs: peeing in the shower without her husband’s judgment. 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 lived, lost, or woken up in Vegas without a shred of dignity left.
Kelsey Cook: Kelsey Cook is the daughter of an International Yo-Yo Champion and a Professional Foosball player, which made for a humor-filled life at a young age.
