The world is a pretty serious place these days, and there are few ways to better overcome it all than with a good laugh. And we don’t mean an LOL response to a kind of funny text message from a friend. We're talking about the gut-busting, fall-out-of-your-seat kind of laugh that cleanses your soul (and maybe even your sinuses). 

As the producer of Everett Comedy Night, which has been bringing high-profile comedy acts to sold out crowds in Snohomish County for nearly a decade, Everett’s resident funny man, Cory Michaelis, is on a mission to help make laughter part of your daily ritual—and that’s no laughing matter! 

Cory is a former high school teacher turned professional comedian who earns a passing grade—and a living—in making people laugh. The proof? His Dry Bar Comedy special, “Bad Teacher,” has amassed over 60 million views and counting, and his debut album, “The Collage Dropout,” charted at #2 on iTunes and Billboard the week it was released.  

Cory's resume includes headlining comedy clubs throughout the US and Canada and opening for big name acts, including comedy legend and actor, and not to mention his mentor, the late, great Louie Anderson. He was also featured on season two of Netflix’s “Huge in France,” with French comedian Gad Elmaleh.  

We are excited to chat with Cory today to learn more about his brand of comedy, what the comedy scene in Snohomish County is like and makes Everett Comedy Night so special.

This one is sure to be hoot!
