About this Event

Confessions of a Black Dad

A ninety-minute journey that will have you laughing through your tears.

How do you get through being bullied as a child, overcome addiction, battle cancer, and be a husband and father with no blueprint—all while being a Black man in America?

Comedian and storyteller takes you on a powerful, hilarious, and emotionally charged ride in Confessions of a Black Dad, his newest one-man show and follow-up to the critically acclaimed Confessions of a Black Man in Boston.

This unforgettable performance blends stand-up comedy, storytelling, acting, and honest reflection. From fatherhood and faith to trauma, recovery, and redemption—Corey shares his truth with vulnerability and humor, offering a night of real talk, deep laughter, and heartfelt connection.

“I created this show because I got tired of people saying, ‘I know how you feel,’ when they didn’t. So I decided to tell them.”
— Corey Manning

Whether you’re a parent, survivor, seeker, or just someone who appreciates comedy with soul—this is a performance you don’t want to miss.
