Comedian Cori Gonzalez-Macuer on Getting Fired & Mental Breakdown, How Fatherhood Saved his Life

Cori Gonzalez Macuer, one of New Zealand’s most popular comedians. Also, a very talented actor- probably best known for his work in Wellington Paranormal or the Taiki Waititi and Jermaine Clement movie “What we do in the shadows.”

Whether you are familiar with Cori’s work or not, I think you’ll like this conversation. It’s a rollercoaster ride of emotion, humor, and introspection.

We explore his early years in Chile, his 21-year career in comedy, his mental health battles, the suicide of his father, the sting of criticism, the fallout from controversial jokes, his relationship with his daughter Freddy and why Academy Award winning actor Adrian Brody is a big dick.
