Career

Cook began performing stand-up comedy while in college.[2] After graduating, she moved to Seattle and then to Los Angeles to pursue comedy full-time. In 2022, she taped her first special, The Hustler, which debuted on her YouTube channel and was later picked up by Hulu.[3]

Her second special, Mark Your Territory, was released in February 2025. It was taped live at Comedy on State in Madison, Wisconsin and is available on YouTube and Hulu.[1] The special covers themes of personal growth, heartbreak, and starting over after a divorce.[4][5]
