Kelsey Cook joins us on Center Stage this week! 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. Kelsey’s stand-up special was released earlier this year on EPIX’s Unprotected Sets. She made her late-night debut on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon," followed by "A Little Late with Lilly Singh" on NBC. Her other television appearances include Comedy Central’s "This is Not Happening," AXS TV Presents "Gotham Comedy Live," "Punchline" on FOX, "Uproarious" on FUSE, and "Greatest Party Story Ever" on MTV.

Kelsey also co-hosts the "Self-Helpless" podcast with fellow comedians Taylor Tomlinson and Delanie Fischer. It can regularly be found on the iTunes Top Comedy Charts and has featured guests like Brian Regan, Michael Bublé, Whitney Cummings, Tan France, and Bert Kreischer. Her foosball web series, “Wrists of Fury,” currently has over 20 episodes where Kelsey hustles fellow comedians who don’t know she’s a World Champion foosball player.

Kelsey’s debut album, "Savor It," can be found on iTunes, Spotify, and Pandora.
