Since she was seventeen, Caitlin Cook has lived by a code: if something scares her, she has to do it.

Caitlin Cook is a Los Angeles-born, Brooklyn-based comedian.

She has taken the stage all across the US, Canada, Europe, and Oceania at top-tier venues (like the Meltdown in Los Angeles, Union Hall in Brooklyn, and the Bill Murray in London), comedy clubs (like Comedy on State in Madison, the Comedy MIX in Vancouver, and Dead Crow Comedy in Wilmington), festivals (like the New York Comedy Festival, Skankfest, and High Mud), theatres (like Theatre 99 in Charleston, the Bug Theatre in Denver, and the Throckmorton in Mill Valley), dimly lit bar basements, strangers' living rooms, and even a houseboat once. She regularly opens for Sean Patton and has performed on shows with Phoebe Robinson, Mark Normand, Kyle Kinane, and many more.
