Chicago native Corey Holcomb has been grinding on the comedy circuit for years. Known for his unfiltered and often controversial humor, Corey’s comedic style has earned him a reputation as one of the most fearless voices in comedy.
Corey’s big break came in the late 1990s when he appeared on the hit television show Comic View. His raw, unfiltered style quickly caught the attention of audiences and industry professionals. He later landed gigs at Def Comedy Jam and Last Comic Standing.
Corey’s unapologetic delivery and willingness to address taboo topics have earned him praise and criticism. Since bursting onto the scene, the stand-up star has built an impressive net worth. Let’s take a look at his fortune, which consists of earnings from his stand-up shows and professional work.
Corey Holcomb joked his way to a large net worth
Corey Holcomb’s net worth is estimated to be around $1 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. This figure is a culmination of his earnings from stand-up comedy, acting roles, comedy specials, and his radio show. Corey Holcomb has made significant strides in television and film. He has appeared in shows like Black Jesus and The Cleveland Show. His film credits include roles in movies like Think Like a Man Too and Who’s Watching the Kids, per IMDb.
Corey is also a regular on various comedy specials and tours, where his live performances continue to draw crowds. In addition to his stand-up and acting career, Corey hosts The 5150 Show, a popular internet radio show and podcast. The show features Corey and his co-hosts discussing current events, relationships, and various social issues.
Corey Holcomb has a complicated relationship with his ex-wife and daughter.
According to Vibe, Corey married his ex-wife, Maya Holcomb, in 2010. However, the two have since split and Corey now has a troubled relationship with his former wife. In January, the comedian went on a profanity-laced rant about the relationship he has with his daughter – which he feels was damaged by Maya.
“She tried to run a game on me like she was brought up by her mama, instead of realizing I got away from her mama ’cause I don’t speak to her mama,” Corey said, during an episode of The 5150 Show. Adding, “Your mama was drama. Now, all these years later, you’re just like your mama. Both of y’all can kiss my motherf**king a**. I’ll go make another daughter.” Corey went on to exclaim that he never loved Maya, and that his daughter “popped up” accidentally during their marriage.
Corey’s comments prompted some backlash, with netizens taking to social media to slam the comedian for his remarks. The backlash is similar to the backlash Brian McKnight has faced regarding his adult children. “If you raised them to respect you, then they’ll respect you, I don’t think he knows what he’s implying about himself,” one person tweeted. While another added, “I always appreciate his honesty. Some stuff he’s right about some stuff I don’t agree with.”
