Corry to perform at Comedy Attic

Actress, writer and “Last Comic Standing” finalist Rebecca Corry will perform at the Comedy Attic Thursday night through Saturday night.

Corry will perform at 8 p.m. today, Friday and Saturday, with additional shows at 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Tickets range from $8.00 to $17.50 and can be purchased at comedyattic.com.

The comedian grew up in Kent, Wash., or the “El Camino driving, hot dog water loving, one-toothed pregnant teen capital of the world,” as she called it on her website.
 
She has guest starred on programs such as “The Bernie Mac Show,” “The King of Queens” and “Rules of Engagement.” Corry released her debut album, “My Story,” in 2012. It includes sections entitled “Tickling,” “Barfing” and “Balls.”

Corry, who doesn’t like defining her comedic style, simply calls it storytelling.

“If you think it’s funny, then it’s funny,” Corry said. “Some of it’s personal, some of it’s observational — just good, old-fashioned storytelling.”

Corry describes her introduction to comedy as the moment “when I came out of my mother’s womb thinking ... what is this? Some kind of joke?”

After moving to Los Angeles to host her own HBO one-woman show, “Have you Ever Been Called a Dwarf?” Corry began performing at a number of different comedy clubs.
 
“The ‘good’ decisions I’ve made are simply creating,” she told the website First Order Historians last year. “Creating shows and content. When you think you’re ‘good,’ you stop getting better and learning.”

Although she is less than 5 feet tall, Corry said she doesn’t let her height affect her craft.

“My height doesn’t write my jokes,” she said.

When asked by First Order Historians about her status as a female comedian, her response was similarly straightforward.

“I hate the term ‘female comedian,’” she said. “Funny is funny. Doesn’t matter what you use to pee out of.”

Recently, Corry has divided her attention between her career and animal rights activism.

In May 2013, she began organizing the One Million PIBBLE March on Washington in support of pit bulls.

“The goal is to end abuse and discrimination of pit bull terriers and to educate our communities, inside and outside of the animal community — that this is all of our problem,” Corry said.

Corry, who performed at the Comedy Attic last year, advised any lonely singles in Friday’s crowd to “wear protection.”
