Claudia Cogan is an immensely funny person and has the accolades to prove it. Not only was she named one of the “10 Comics Funny People Find Funny" in New York Magazine and was winner of Time Out New York's first ever Joke of the Year, but Cogan was also on the last season of Last Comic Standing, making it to the semi-final round. She began her comedic career on the UCB Harold teams Pole Position and Beautiful Cop, moving from improv to sketch to eventually stand-up and produces the shows Turtle Tank and 50 First Jokes. Claudia came over to the Wrestling Team apartment in February to discuss these things, as well as producing comedy shows, shame, Lenny Bruce, marketability and family relations.
