Would you ever wear boots on the first date? In this episode, Kerry Coddett and I talk about our high school and college lives. Plus, Kerry reveals her first date ever and her worst date ever.
Kerry Coddett [Cah-dit] is a New York-based stand-up comedian, actress, and writer. Touted as “inimitable” by The Huffington Post and as “a rising star” by The Interrobang, she has also been featured in numerous publications, including Entertainment Weekly, Mic.com, Elite Daily, Splitsider, Elle.com, Buzzfeed, and Salon.
Growing up, Kerry was never shy – she always wanted to be an actress and performer. In school, she was outstanding and even got to skip two grades. At first, Kerry got into the gifted school for nerds. However, she physically fought every single day in high school and ended up going to four different schools. Kerry fought for her respect – she didn’t want anyone to feel like they could get away with saying negative things about her. She only fought girls for the record, and doesn’t hit people as an adult. Adults handle shit differently, people will call the cops now – high school kids don’t call the police.
Kerry speaks about briefly joining a gang - she wasn’t in super deep. Kerry just stopped getting off the subway at that stop and took her ass home. Some people have trouble getting out of a gang, but Kerry didn’t have any issues. She didn’t bang super hard; she only dabbled in gang life. When you get deeper into gang activity, it’s because of your neighborhood. The people in her gang weren’t in Kerry’s neighborhood, so it had nothing to do with her. At the time, Kerry couldn’t even tell you why she joined a gang. Most likely, it was because of her high school boyfriend.
In college, Kerry had two boyfriends – those were the only two people she was having sex with. Kerry has never killed it and hasn’t had sex for ten months; she wrote that joke two years ago. Online dating isn’t right for Kerry; she doesn’t like texting, so she can’t get to know someone that way. She asked one guy to call her, and it just fell apart. Kerry thinks that people shouldn’t waste time with online messaging. Then, Kerry explains why she doesn’t want to date a comic. Stay tuned as Kerry speaks about her fashion career, her first date ever, and her worst date ever.
