Join Us for “You Know How I Feel” — An Unforgettable Evening of Laughter and Reflection
Corey's extensive background includes appearances on NBC and Amazon Prime Video, headlining at The Apollo Theatre, and a unique blend of comedy and activism. His ability to tackle serious subjects with humor and humanity makes “You Know How I Feel” a must-see performance.
What is the silent killer of men? What do all men share but rarely talk about? Is it possible to laugh and cry at the same time? Find out in "You Know How I Feel," performed by Boston's own Corey Manning. This 90-minute traumatic comedy takes you on a personal journey through Corey’s life experiences, blending humor with heartfelt storytelling. Corey’s battle with prostate cancer is at the heart of the performance, shedding light on an issue that affects many but is often underrepresented. With Black men being 50 percent more likely to develop prostate cancer and twice as likely to die from it, Corey’s story is not just a tale of survival but a crucial call for awareness and action.
Known as “Comedian by Night and Superhero by Day,” Corey masterfully blends humor and raw honesty to tackle significant topics beyond his cancer experience. He dives into the impact of diversity, equity, and inclusion on his life and career, recounting personal anecdotes that illustrate the resilience required to overcome related challenges. Through his candid reflections on bullying and substance abuse, Corey offers a relatable and eye-opening perspective on these often-stigmatized issues.
In "You Know How I Feel," Corey also explores the art of comedy itself, sharing insights into how laughter has been a vital tool for navigating life's challenges. The performance is enriched with multimedia elements and concludes with a Q&A session.
Warning: “You Know How I Feel” contains adult themes and language. Some material may evoke deep and meaningful reflection. Audience members should be prepared to experience a range of emotions — including moments of uncontrollable laughter and tears.
