COMEDIAN MICHAEL KOSTA TALKS ABOUT HIS NEW STAND UP SPECIAL AND MORE

Daily Show Correspondent Michael Kosta Introduces His First One-Hour Original Comedy Central Special!

No matter where you live, Michael Kosta is out to make you laugh. Kosta – a Correspondent on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah -- starts his first one-hour stand up special in his home state of Michigan and then moves to each coast and back again, recreating his personal comedy journey on stage. Michael Kosta: Detroit. NY. LA. is an original Comedy Central stand-up special to debut on Friday, December 11 at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.

The special was filmed at The Gem Theatre in Detroit, New York Comedy Club in New York City, and The Improv in Los Angeles over three separate nights. This one-of-a-kind, three-city special, highlights the silly yet thought-provoking observations of a self-aware mid-westerner. The result is a nostalgic and hilarious reminder of what life was like pre-pandemic, when people could be in rooms together and laugh, carefree. Topics include: side boob, Leonardo DiCaprio, and even the 2nd Amendment.

A stand-up veteran, Michael Kosta has appeared on The Tonight Show, Conan, Late Night with Seth Meyers and @midnight. He starred in his own stand-up special, Comedy Central Presents: Michael Kosta, and released his comedy album, Comedy for Attractive People in 2015. He was also recently seen on Comedy Central’s This Week at the Comedy Cellar and This Is Not Happening. Fun fact: Michael was a pro tennis player before he focused his career on comedy.

Michael Kosta: Detroit. NY. LA. Premieres Friday, December 11, at 11pm ET/PT on Comedy Central.

I spoke with Michael about the special, his comedy heroes and working with Trevor Noah on The Daily Show.
