Corey Forrester

Corey Ryan Forrester is a North Georgia-born stand-up comedian, author, and podcaster known for his explosive energy and signature "Southern wit." Hailing from Chickamauga, Forrester began his comedy career at just 16, eventually rising to national prominence as a founding member of the wellRED Comedy Tour alongside Trae Crowder and Drew Morgan. Together, they co-authored the best-selling book The Liberal Redneck Manifesto: Draggin' Dixie Outta the Dark and challenged deep-seated Southern stereotypes on major platforms like The View, Real Time with Bill Maher, and MSNBC. On stage, Forrester blends high-octane physical comedy with surprisingly thought-provoking rants on culture and politics. Whether he’s performing his viral "Butter Cream Dream" characters or delivering his 2023 special A Long Line of Stupid, his style is a unique fusion of common sense and emotionally driven storytelling.
