Rebecca Corry

Kent, Washington, native Rebecca Corry cut her comedic teeth in Chicago in the hallowed grounds of the Second City improv theater after moving there as a teenager. The risk worked out, as her career as a comedy performer and writer has taken her into feature films, commercials and TV series, as well as hosting her own show on Oprah’s network. You might have seen her name most recently as one of the women who talked about being sexually harassed by Louis C.K. when their paths crossed a decade ago. (I’m guessing the Spokane Comedy Club will probably delete the Louis C.K. video they show before performances this weekend.) Besides doing her own stand-up shows, Corry is the featured entertainment for Sunday’s Stand Up for Pits, an event dedicated to ending the abuse of pitbull-type dogs and benefiting local animal welfare nonprofits Rescue4All, Higher Ground Animal Sanctuary and the Spokane Humane Society.
