August 14, 2025A Crowd Pleaser for High School Youth!
We booked Corey for our Church Youth event at the Superdome and we are glad that we did! He brought his "A Game" and roamed our event of 700 people, impressing our attendees with his odd talents. Both the kids and the adults loved it. He was very engaging for our group and does a clean show, which we appreciated for our setting. Communication was great and he was very professional as well as flexible. Would recommend for any event large or small!

July 9, 2025An Unforgettable Night of Fun
Odd Corey was amazing. He showed up right on time and brought so much energy to the party. His show had everyone smiling, laughing, shocked, and completely drawn in. You could tell he really cared about making the experience special for everyone there. He was not only SUPER talented but also so cool and easy to talk to. People are still talking about how great he was. If you're looking for someone who can truly give a unique and extra fun show, book with Corey!
