On "The Price of Peace" we welcome Toronto-based actor, comedian, and curator, COKO GALORE!
She is one half of the improv comedy duo Coko & Daphney, Director of Toronto’s Black and Funny Improv Festival, and founder of Toronto’s Asian and Funny comedy festival. She is also a co-producer of The Untitled Black Sketch Project. Her performance credits include headlining festivals across North America, and multiple other shows curated and written by Coko herself. Most recently, you can catch her on CBC's Tallboyz.
Coko is currently Artistic and Managing Director of Bad Dog Comedy Theatre, where she is instrumental in the creation of their YouTube Channel: Bad Dog Comedy TV.
On this episode Coko shares how she views everything including media and inclusion, through her sociology background. We explore Coko’s intersectionalities as a black, asian, & queer woman in the improv world; and discuss the importance of protecting and supporting BIPOC folk in positions of power. Plus so much more!
