Rising Star & Cool Beans U Alum Tiffany Bank

Andrew Cornelius is a good friend of Cool Beans Comedy and Cool Beans U. As a student, he has been a part of the program for a number of years. He has also been crushing it on the comedy circuit across the country, performing at numerous comedy festivals. Also, he helped produce the audiobook Cool Beans Comedy: Stand Up Comedy for Beginners. He is an amazing comic and an incredible person. You're going to love this sit down interview with him. With that, let's listen in to the very funny Andrew Cornelius.

This is a very special interview with Cool Beans Comedy graduate and regular performer, Mike Knox.

We hope you are staying happy and healthy in these trying times. We interviewed the hilarious Lex Lumpkin and also spoke with his amazing mother. Corey had the pleasure of working with Lex as a coach for stand up comedy and work with him on Nickelodeon's "All That." He's a ball of energy and hilarity, so let's give it up for the very entertaining Lex Lumpkin!

Chinguun Sergelen and his mother Jessie are two of the most amazing people I know. I had the pleasure of having Chinguun in the Cool Beans Comedy youth comedy class, and had the pleasure of coaching him into a series regular role on the Nickelodeon series "All That." He is a hilarious, brave comedian who isn't afraid to talk about anything for the sake of humor. He is the first Mongolian to be a series regular as an actor, and I hope this interview shed a light of inspiration to all. We hope that you are staying safe out there during these trying times, and with that, let's listen in on the very funny Chinguun Sergelen.

We hope you are staying healthy and happy during these trying times. To provide some inspiration, we interviewed teen comic Braxon Herda about his young comedic journey.

You've seen Braxton on Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Disney Channel, Netflix, and here's here for you today to give some inspiration.
