Welcome to ALTBAYS Show (feat. Leo Magri)
Cori was born in Chile and raised in Wellington, NZ. He has worked as an actor, comedian and mental health advocate for over a decade. He has performed as a stand-up comedian all over the world.
Cori played Nick in NZ’s epic film What We Do In The Shadows with the incredible Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement, Jonny Brugh and many others. Other notable screens include Eagle VS Shark, Insider's Guide To Happiness, Wellington Paranormal & Mean Mums.
Cori has won several awards, including the prestigious Billy T James Award, handed out to NZ's most promising young comedian as part of the New Zealand International Comedy Festival. He has also worked on several TV shows as an actor, writer, presenter and panellist.
He grew up playing representative soccer in New Zealand, eventually moving back to his native Chile once he finished high school to trial and train with local pro teams, but this was cut short due to injury. He returned to NZ to pursue his university studies.
Cori’s father committed suicide in 2016, and things changed significantly in his life. He became a mental health advocate, and his TED X, where he asks people who suffer from depression to look for support, is a powerful one.
