Life and career

Cohen was raised in Houston, Texas.[4][5] She began to study musical theater as a child. She attended Princeton University where she received a degree in English.

Cohen has acted on High Maintenance, Broad City, and Search Party.[1] She performed an original comedic song called "Look At Me" on Late Night with Seth Meyers in July 2019.[6]

She is best known for performing comedy cabaret and has two regular performances: a monthly show at Joe's Pub called "The Twist?...She's Gorgeous," which includes singing and accompaniment; and, a weekly show called "Cabernet Cabaret" at Club Cumming. Both shows are performed with frequent collaborator, composer and pianist, Henry Koperski.
