From Mormon Roots to Psychedelic Routines: The Comedy of Korey David

As the creator and host of Interrogation: True Crime Stories, Korey David is quickly becoming a well-known figure in Denver’s comedy scene, and for good reason. His sharp wit and fearless approach to stand-up comedy have earned him performances across the country, and he’s made waves with appearances at major festivals like High Plains Comedy Festival and Vail Comedy Festival. But what really sets Korey apart is his ability to weave humor into the darkest of topics—like true crime.

Korey takes the audience on a comedic journey that mixes real-life crime stories with stand-up humor. The show features comedians who recount crimes they’ve experienced or been involved in, then sit down for a mock interrogation, where the audience gets to play detective and solve the case. This interactive and entertaining twist has made Interrogation a hit in Denver and beyond unique background as a “psychedelic-loving ex-Mormon” gives him a fresh perspective on life, which he skillfully incorporates into his comedy.

In his recent interview on the IM FROM DENVER Podcast, Korey dives deep into what inspired him to create Interrogation, and even shares a few crimes he and others have committed—offering a hilarious but revealing glimpse into the real-life experiences that shape his comedy.

The podcast interview is filled with laughs, insights into his stand-up journey, and behind-the-scenes stories from his show. It’s a must-listen for fans of true crime, stand-up, or anyone curious about the intersection of comedy and life’s darker moments.You can listen to the full interview and hear Korey talk about his comedy career and his take on crime stories right here:
