Kelsey got divorced one week before the pandemic. Perfect timing. So while her friends used the time to get sober or get fit, Kelsey spent the pandemic getting used to divorced life. The Highs: peeing in the shower without her husband's judgement. The lows: watching ASMR videos on CZcams 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 lved, lost or woken up in Vegas without a shred of dignity left

Dedicated to my mom, Kathy. Thank you for always being my biggest cheerleader, even when my jokes are dirty. The only thing you’re better at than playing foosball is being a mom, and that’s saying a lot when you’re in the Foosball Hall of Fame. You’re my hero and I love you.

Wow. You can tell she put a lotta time into this. So many call-backs, tags, and smooth transitions. I laughed way more while watching this then I did watching some recent ‘high-profile’ comedians’ specials. Hope this gets huge numbers, you deserve it Kelsey!
So kind, thank you!
I've realized that most comedians best work is their earlier works when they're not famous
You’re FUNNY! I was entertained the whole hour!
I liked it 👍🏽and shared it with my friends . 🤣❤️
She's great huh?
Second this !
Kelsey and Taylor Tomlinson have risen right up there on my list of the funniest comedians out there right now.
Preeeeach!!!
That’s awesome, thank you!
Taylor Tomlinson is massively underated...she definately is a top tier comedian, in my book atleast💯💯
Seriously. Shes hiliarious
Sad that they are attractive women and will never get the respect they deserve
Wait, what? Who is she?? She's hilarious! Why isn't she all over netflix?? She's better than most of the shows there!
Because Netflix isn't the sole platform for good comedy. Idk why people act like it is. It isn't what HBO used to be.
@@GG45945 Netflix is landfill.
Not a high bar though
I only discovered Kelsey about 6 months ago, but I probably listened to this gem, realistically, 20 times in its entierety and couple dozen times for the various clips cut out of this video. This is such a masterpiece, no fluff, packed with jokes, great callbacks and intertwines, pleasant, calming voice, I would pay for her feet pics and I am really not into feet at all.
She had great timing. Her transitions were flawless. She did a little bit of crowd work, which was fantastic and very witty. I loved that she would go back to things she said in previous jokes. Like talk about Wendell and her Gin and Ham joke. One of the best female comic specials I've seen in a long time. Great job Kelsey.
Omg this woman is amazing!!!!
Christ shes funny!!!
And hot to boot!! Wow
I will never gobble down cold cuts straight from the fridge the same after the Ham joke. Lol
Y'know what ... That sums it up perfectly. I'm incredibly picky regarding comedy, but this made me laugh quite a few times for the stated reasons. So, thank you, kind sir, for summing it up.
I know you are trying to be supportive but the fact that you put that "female comic" is pretty condescending
@@davidc5820 Or ... OR ... and I'm just gonna be guessing here ...
It may be a simple stating of facts from a foreign language perspective. The name Anthony Fregoso sounds vaguely Italian. As a German and thus non-native English speaker, I use male and female as simple words for describing, well ... male and female. A male comic would be a comedian who identifies as a man. A female comic on the other hand, would be a comedian who identifies as a woman.
If you find that condescending, you are putting intentions behind words that aren't there, instead of asking if there was any intent to offend. Which would be rather condescending.
I get that 'female' has taken up additional connotations recently. But you can't expect the world to just follow suit with your interpretations. It's still a fairly widely used word with a fairly neutral dictionary definition. By constantly bringing up what some people think it might mean, you educate others in taking offense at a simple string of letters that doesn't have intrinsic connotations. You make it an 'insult'. And you take the insulting part from your head, not from the person you're replying to.
This is text based online communication. There's no accentuation like there would be in a verbal discussion. No expression as you'd have eye-to-eye. Where you can make educated guesses as to what someone might mean. In plain, written text, maybe just take people by their word in the most neutral or even most positive sense, because the comment was very obviously praise. Or keep being a dick. It's obviously up to you, as it is up to others, to judge you by what you write.
This set is better than most Netflix specials. They need to get her on a show. Funny and witty. And gorgeous to boot!
You and I have very different definitions of gorgeous, but she is quite funny.
@@TellURide447"to boot" is a southern way to say "also"
@@bararobberbaron859: and I bet you have a paunch and a receding hairline that you cover with a trucker hat.
@bararobberbaron859 you must have unrealistic standards cause she is hot asf.
@@bararobberbaron859 It's highly likely that you're a fatso in some basement with cheeto dust all over your neck-beard.
you know when you are clicking through standups trying to find someone to make you cry laughing and you finally find one? yeah, this is one of them. Kelsey Cook is a comedy genius with a one of a kind delivery that stands out from the rest. she deserves all the continued success in her career and i am anticipating her future specials!!❤
I couldn't agreed more, Kelseys delivery & content is second to none...😊
If you think this is funny you should try watching male comics.
@@Brian-ux3jx Pretty much what I think. She is moderately funny to me. But, I think men and women have pretty different taste in humor. There are very few female comedians that I think are even a little funny. Kelsey Cook is among the best female comedians to me. Still not hilarious, but moderately funny. But, there are a-lot of male comedians that are worse.
Thank you "The HUSTLER" fuseball table master YOU WIN!😮
Sexual jokes mostly.
Check out Anjelah Johnson-Reyes. She has more varied materials and she tells clean jokes.
"who has a drinking problem" "who is settling" I'm in stitches laughing.
1st time hearing her comedy, she's great 💯
Thank you for watching!
Same! Shame on CZcams for hiding this gem!
The diet cum line is an absolute winner, and adding Wendell on the end is the cherry on top. Too funny. As well as your mother jokes. Your openness and honesty about being divorced gives you a vulnerability that makes your material land even better. You have great things ahead.
i vote for a netflix special this was better than a lot of them and ive been on a comedy watching binge every night for weeks
Have you seen Ali Siddiq! Hilarious!
Hammy Netflix specials pale next to this place. Imagine the company that whines about actors loving the books they're adapting and correcting writers signing a Fern Brady. Netflix's range sucks next to what 800lb's putting out.
Same
I like Whitney Cummings. She is pretty funny. Idk if she's on Netflix. She's on here though 😊
enough of these comments from you people that apparently work for Netflix. Why should we pay for Netflix when we can watch for free on CZcams?
Kelsey is so great, you don't want her to stop! Excellent material! Sharp mind!
Legit the funniest female comedian ever. Really happy to have come across her.
She's up there for sure. Just came across her today for the first time ever and she's incredible. Hope she continues coming up with great material and new sets!
She has good delivery but not the best materials. She tells mainly sexual jokes.
Check out Anjelah Johnson-Reyes if you want to know what’s comedy. Clean jokes, varied materials, not relying on one-dimensional off-colored jokes.
She’s in my top 3 female blonde comedians 😂
She is good all original and funny while I'm saying this and Dr Sam talking about poop in your colon by Dr Sam 7 sec poop something I lost the rest
I went to see her live in April, it was recorded for a "special taping" and I'm hopeful it will drop soon here. She was GREAT!!
Good stand-up is helping a lot these days. We all need a good laugh and Kelsey Cook is essential
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Liz Mille also.. good female comedians are unfortunately hard to find... Rachel feinstein is pretty good too
I haven't laughed so much that I cried for a long time.. thank you for that
**Sorry Kelsey I wasn't trying to take away from you by name dropping others... I just feel like the female comedians that ARE good need to be heard 🤷...
.. PS... Might have had some vodka 🤷 lol
1st timer here- super solid special! Some stellar jokes and natural cadence. I need more!!
This was my first time stumbling upon Kelsey Cook and she blew me away, hysterical! 🤣
Thanks so much!
@@KelseyCookComedy you're welcome, equally as much!

Kelsey Cook is one of the most naturally funny people I've ever seen. Loads of talent just waiting for the right vessel to showcase it.
The look on her face when she said she was putting on her foosball grip glove 😂😂
Great special. Timing was phenomenal from start to finish
Thank you!
Kelsey is so funny and relatable, been watching her for a long time and it’s great to see her succeed. “Like that white Gatorade flavor” LOL.
Haha thank you!
Yep. Can confirm it is standardly "like that white Gatorade flavor". Vs. natural might be okay or might make you gag.
I love her comedy! She got divorced a week before COVID hit - I will give you one up - My wife was in the hospital for complications from cancer and died on St. Patrick's day, 3/17/2020, just as COVID hit. Kelsey's comedy gives me strength to get through this $#;+.
I especially love her bit about moving to Minnesota! I grew up in Wisconsin and my sister lives in Minneapolis - other than the taxes, it is a great place to live!!
I'd never heard of 'Kelsey Cook', and then I came across this CZcams posting completely by accident.. I LOVED IT.. She's now one of my favourites..
Kelsey, IF YOU EVER SEE THIS, please do a show in London... I promise to be there with as many friends as possible...
I LOVE HER!!! my cheeks and tummy hurt from laughing! She needs her own Netflix special.... Hilarious!
Same. I found myself smiling the whole time
Netflix is overrated. A low profile comic like this doesn’t really make a ton on a Netflix special, and they won’t share their metrics with you.
When you shower, your feet absorb a lot of “water” … and then put your damp feet into your shoes …
@@guysumpthin2974 you’re kind of trash if you stick your damp feet into your shoes. Disgusting.
A lot of comedians are just putting their specials on CZcams now so they can get all the money and I'm here for it.
Kelsey Cook is slaying, crushing, and knockin' 'em dead ! Love, love, love this special !
She is HILARIOUS!! Totally opened another browser window... incognito. This is a freaking GEM of a special!! I agree, WAY better than stuff I've been watching on Netflix. Very talented!
She also looks like Better Call Saul’s Kim Wexler(Rhea Seahorn)
Kelsey and Tammi Pascatelli are the two best female stand-up acts. Love them to pieces.....
I remember meeting Kelsey year ago when she was opening for Jim Norton in Las Vegas. I’m so happy to see her have her own special!
Thank you!
Finally I was trying to remember where I know her from. From Norton and Bob Kelly.
"Burn it to the ground"
🤣*laughs tequila out nose*☠️
“It’s like yelling into a fan”
“I’m not gonna swallow a paperclip so you can come a new way”, lol.
“Not gonna die at 32 from ‘Brad’s butthole’”.
“Tingles in my basement…”
+ too many other sentences of absolute gold, to write down.
This woman is a gem. Witty, smart, flawless deliver and a master of her craft.
She is my new favorite comedian! So relatable and authentic!
❤❤❤
@@KelseyCookComedy Ladies, You should consider doing some coke, smack, maybe smoke a bit.. No fentanyl please!
Definitely one of the funniest shows I've seen.
Kelsey is a total pro!! One hour of non-stop brilliant comedy right there!!
“Piss on dry porcelain, like a serial killer” is one of the best things I’ve ever heard.
Hilarious!! Was not expecting this at all after being disapointed by a few recent 800lb episodes, but she killed it!! Almost every single line. Great delivery
Wow, this is crazy good stand up!
This is really well done. Ive been watching stand up for 25 years and this is not only hilarious but also well crafted set.
She is so down to earth and funny. Great job.
Kelsey is hilarious. Her story about how she discovered her latex allergy that she talked about on "This Is Not Happening" still cracks me up.
I knew I'd seen her somewhere, thanks😅
That crowd was fuckin brutal
I would still watch her with no sound ...ok ... I'm outta here... starting to sound like her stalker
I also comes back to that one every now and then!
OMFG thank you! Just watched this set and want more... Looking up her "This Is Not Happening" set now! 💞
This was so well done, I laughed the whole time and shed a tear for the dedication to her mother at the end. I also appreciate the Foosball hustle in the credits. Going back from that though, I feel like I can tell when a comedian says something, but is thinking about something else, she is engaged the entire time. Every joke landed for me, every side joke was spot on. Her references, observations, straight up humor. I loved it. I watched this bc Chad Daniels said it was one of his favorite, it easy to see why.
Thank you very much!
Maaaan, she is very talented. Excellent timing, delivery, storytelling and punchlines. Funny af!!! How is it I’ve only just now come across her???
Bloody brilliant.
She's awesome 👍👍 natural and hilarious
Thanks so much!
This is one of those videos where I clicked on the timeline a bunch of times to make sure it wasn't ending, thats how entertaining this was!
One of my favorite rewatches! This is a classic stand-up special!
Kelsey is one of the hardest working comics in the game today. I’m happy for her recent, (and in my opinion, long overdue) career successes and status rise. I just listened to her on Bert’s podcast, Sickler’s podcast, and her and Taylor on Adam Ray’s podcast, and they were so good. I’ve always liked Kelsey’s confidence in everything she’s done. One of my favorite examples of that is when I watched her totally SMOKE Sam Tripoli at Foosball a few years ago, and when they called her mom and she told Sam that Kelsey was gonna kick his ass was priceless.
I saw Kelsey open for Jim Norton years ago. Bought a bundle of her Labia scented air freshners for my sisters that christmas. I haven't heard from them in a while but its nice seeing her do well!
How do I let Kelsey know that I’ve watched this one special like… at least ten times already. Love her!!!!!!
Aw thank you! ❤
Totally can't wait to watch this with my wife. Kelsey you are amazing 😂😂😂😂.
Been a fan of Kelsey's for a few years, she's always been funny, absolutely knocked it out of the park with this special!
This show is so packed with rich comedy pieces... She is really good.
Found this by accident, she’s great ! Loved the whole show, very funny, witty… wish her more success 🙏🏼
9:49
this was a set where you could really feel how much care she put into the writing. It's very well-structured.
Kelsey is absolutely hilarious 😂. She is great. Awesome. And a true professional.😂
Thank you!
So excited for her to get this special out there! She is a great comedian, and has a great podcast as well (Self Helpless).
Thanks so much for listening to the pod! 😊
@@KelseyCookComedy Of course! I was a helpster from your Cincinnati show who requested a selfie! :) (And bought a shirt and coozie 😀)
She's so natural. She's fantastic.
This is one of the best Stand-up shows I have ever seen... Amazing! Congrats for your work, Kelsey
She is as good at comedy as she is at foosball. Top tier.
I watched the shorter version and it was so funny I had to watch the whole special. Incredible.
I so needed this today. Thank you Kelsey for making me laugh and forget about this insane world for an hour.
She's the funniest female comedian i ever did see! Laughed constantly!
Laughed more here than I did watching Chris rocks new special . So we’ll done , this was awesome ✨
Thanks for watching!
Watched her show without sound on. It was still more funny than Chris Rock.
100%. This was actually a hilarious, unique, and witty special.
@@KelseyCookComedy of course dude , you’re awesome. Hey if you ever do a show in Cape Town ,I’ll totally be in the front row.✨
Really???
Do we really need to compare everything???
I loved both show's. ♥️
She's hilarious!! I couldn't stop laughing 😂😂😂
Thank you! 🤗
Believe me when I say that I love to discover awesome new stand-up comedy shows. Unfortunately, there is a shorter list of incredible female comics versus male comedians. This girl has a gift that only kickass comedians are born with. She is on my list for having one of the most amazing Stand-Up Comedy Specials!!!
Hilarious! I love her wit and timing. Can't say enough. Great hour long belly laugh!
She is phenomenal! Netflix definitely needs to be looking at her
Wow! Almost every joke and story were well thought out. And her delivery is spot on. She is very good.
Just discovered Kelsey and she's fantastic! One of the best female acts I've heard! Hope her career as a comic really takes off.
Extraordinary! One of the best sets in recent memory.
Egg is melting 😭😭😭😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I have never heard of this comic till today and I was impressed.. like her deliveries were as if she was having a one on one conversation... really good work can't wait to hear more..
Actually is very funny. Love her style and wisdom.
Easily in my top 5 favorite comedy specials, non stop laughing. Killing it!
A+ stuff right there. So glad AYG introduced me to her comedy!
Thank you! AYG podcast is the best
Oh you're new!!
@@kjcorder I first saw her a couple years ago on there. This was a great special to see. It flowed really well and didn't fall off at all really.
@@j.yahnkeeeeesseesseeeseeeeeeeeeeeeeme3eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemeeemeeeeeeeeemmeeee.eeeeeeeeeeee3ee33eeeeeeeeeee mm
I got here to learn some english...but she just cracked me up...She is amazing....awesome!!!!
Thank you!
this was beautiful! loved it 💯. The joke about the Kardashians mating calls had me dying😂
I was dying!!😂 I'm so impressed by her! Very few people can pull off a set like this
A real hoot. Wish I could see your set live someday. Keep slaying Ms.Cook.
SIIIIMP!
I've never heard of Kelsey before, and I'm so stoked I discovered her! She's freaking HYSTERICAL!!! I laughed so dang hard, I am definitely sharing this special with lots of people!
My first knowledge of her as well. I watch comedians all the time. Rewatch and still laugh just as hard at Taylor, Matt Rife, Orny Adams, Sam Jay she is right up there IMO.
Watch her foos ball matches
Solid delivery and smoooth punchlines
So great that she's a foosball player and great on stage! Gj Kelsey!
Kelsey is hilarious! This special was great!! ❤ 😂
This is one of the best specials I've seen in a long time. Damn.
🤗🤗🤗
Kelsey is AMAZING..Love her razor sharp wit,pop culture refs & smart word play. Bravo❤
Wow Kelsey. This was an amazing comedy special. !! Can't wait to see more!
She nailed this. I laughed so much my throat hurts. Keep it up kelsey
Thank you for the laughs! Seriously needed to hear this special. Killing it!!
Thank you!
Really awesome special! Kelsey is genuinely hilarious and tells jokes with perfect smoothness and confidence! Plus she's beautiful, which is always a bonus.
I’ve been waiting for more Kelsey Cook stand up, it was worth the wait! Always great!
"I'm not dying at 32 from Brad's butthole." 💀😄
I absolutely LOVE this girl!! Her whole skit is amazing! I immediately looked her up because I can't wait to see her in person! 😂😂😂😂❤
So much fun. Kelsey was adorable, insightful and extremely funny. 😂
I've never heard her before, but she is excellent! So glad to have come across her!
I was at this show at Comedy Works! It was awesome! 😂 She's my new favorite. Also, it was like 400 degrees in that small theater but she didn't sweat at all haha!
I haven't laughed this hard in a really long time! Thank you!
I was literally in tears because Kelsey is so frickin' funny!!
Happy to have stumbled upon this. She’s hilarious!
I'd never heard this woman before. She is a legend 😀
Genuinely hilarious, and downright gorgeous. I mean that in the most gentlemanly way possible.
I've watched this sent a number of times. Probably one of the best written and delivered. Hope she does more.
One of the funniest specials of the year so far!!
Kelsey’s comedic timing is brilliant
She's great, first time I have come across her. Wish her all the best and much success.
Come-across -her
(You LITERALLY did not c across her body) lol 😝😘😘😘😘
