Before Nick Cobb became a stand-up comedian and appeared on TV commercials, he studied psychology at Indiana University.
"I did work in the field for several months with a very interesting population," Cobb said during a phone call from his apartment courtyard in Los Angeles. "They were drug addicts or just got out of jail. It turned out they weren't that dependable, so I decided to give comedy a shot."
The shot landed after a few years and Cobb has made a name for himself on Comedy Central's "Live at Gotham," VH1's "Morning Buzz," AMC's "Date Night" and NBC's "Last Comic Standing."
He will perform a double bill with Sean Peabody at the Egyptian Theatre in Park City on Friday, July 31, and Saturday, Aug. 1.
