Cocoa Brown ~ Special Event

Cocoa Brown brings her high-energy stand-up to Baltimore Comedy Factory for a special-event weekend. Brown, a Newport News native whose given name is Farah Brown, draws on personal hardship, survival, and redemption to create comedy that is candid, forceful, and uplifting. Her performance career has included BET’s “Comic View” and “One Mic Stand,” “Showtime at the Apollo,” Tyler Perry’s “For Better or Worse,” film work including “Lakeview Terrace,” and a leading role in Perry’s “The Single Moms Club.”

Her biography also highlights her work as a former Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus advertising associate and sketch-comedy writer before she pursued stand-up. Known for carefully developed sets, bold fashion, and an energetic stage presence, Brown has been recognized with a Screen Actors Guild nomination and has developed projects including an autobiography and the one-woman show “Confessions of a Suicidal Diva.”
