Catherine Cohen

Catherine Cohen (born August 11, 1991), also known as Cat Cohen, is an American comedian, actress, and singer. Her live comedy performances combine stand-up comedy with cabaret-style songs. Her first Netflix comedy special, The Twist...? She's Gorgeous, was released in 2022. Cohen was raised in Houston, Texas, and graduated from Princeton University, where she was a member of the Ivy Club and the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, before moving to New York City to perform stand-up and sketch comedy, taking classes at the Upright Citizens Brigade.

Cohen has received positive critical reception for performing comedy cabaret and was named on "comedians to watch" lists by Vulture and Time Out in 2018. She has a monthly show at Joe's Pub called The Twist...? She's Gorgeous and a weekly show called Cabernet Cabaret at Club Cumming, both performed with her frequent collaborator, pianist Henry Koperski. Madeleine Aggeler of The Cut described her performances as "a spinning, glittery, Technicolor explosion." As an actress, she has appeared on comedy series such as High Maintenance, Broad City, Search Party, and What We Do in the Shadows.

In 2019, Cohen was a nominee for best comedian at the 11th Shorty Awards and won the best newcomer award at the Edinburgh Fringe. Her first Netflix special, also called The Twist...? She's Gorgeous, was released in 2022, based on her 2019 Edinburgh Fringe show. She hosts a weekly podcast called Seek Treatment with co-host Pat Regan, which premiered on July 24, 2018. Her debut album, Overdressed, was announced for November 2024 via Elektra Records, and she told Rolling Stone that merging her love of comedy with pop music is a dream come true.
