Corey Adam is an American stand-up comedian from Minneapolis, Minnesota. He has released three comedy albums on Stand Up! Records, including 2018's Jokes.

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Adam was born Corey Adam Allegrezza in Hibbing, Minnesota.[1] Adam began using his first and middle names as a stage name in 2008 because of his frustration with frequent mispronunciations of "Allegrezza."[2]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Stand-up comedy

[edit | edit source]

Adam's comedy has been described as "self-deprecating and sarcastic."[1] Adam's early comedy was influenced by Sam Kinison; he studied group improv comedy at venues such as Brave New Workshop in Minneapolis, but eventually decided solo stand-up was more suited to his style.[3] He moved briefly to Las Vegas at age 22 to further his stand-up career, but has been based in the Twin Cities until 2021, when he moved to Austin, Texas.[2]

Adam has toured internationally, performing to audiences in Ireland and at the Akumal Comedy Festival in Mexico,[1] and has been a frequent tour opener for Nick Swardson.[2][4] He has been a regular host of comedy nights at several clubs in Minneapolis.[5][6]

Adam has released three albums of his stand-up comedy. Two of these, No Joke and No Joke 2, are nontraditional sets capturing not his actual stage performance but his interactions with audiences and hecklers.[6] Originally self-funded through crowdsourcing, No Joke was later picked up by Grammy-winning producer Dan Schlissel of Stand Up! Records, who produced his subsequent works. Richard Lanoie of The Serious Comedy Site praised 2018's Jokes for its "adult sense of humor and a taste for the absurd."[7]

Radio and podcasts

[edit | edit source]

He was a regular co-host on the Steel Toe Morning Show on Youtube.com out of St. Cloud, Minnesota,[8] and has been a frequent guest on the sports talk show SKOR North Live on KSTP-AM,[9][10][11][12][13] Laughing Matters with Robert Baril on KTNF-AM,[14][15] and the WFTC-TV pop-culture show On the Fly with Tony Fly.[1]

In 2019–20, he co-hosted the podcast Unregulated Radio.[16] In 2012–2013, Adam co-hosted Dirty Bomb Shop, a podcast about the craft of stand-up comedy.[17]
