About Corey Rodrigues

Corey is a highly sought after national touring college, club and corporate performer. He was the winner of The Catch a New Rising Star, The Funniest Comic in New England and the 2017 Big Sky Comedy Festivals. Rodrigues has been featured on the hilarious Gotham Live, Laughs on Fox and True TV’s Laff Mobbs Laff Tracks. In 2018 he released his Dry Bar comedy special, was voted “Best of the Fest” at the Big Pine Comedy Festival and was picked as one of TBS’s Comics to Watch at the New York Comedy Fest. In 2019 Rodrigues made his late-night TV debut on the Conan O’Brien show. In 2020 he released another 30-minute Comedy Special for the EPIX series “Unprotected Sets.” His comedy is honest and fun, constantly peppering in stories from his life and the lives of those around him. Mix that with a hilarious point of view and he’s able to talk about just about anything.

He has been entertaining since childhood. Growing up in Milton – a small suburb in Massachusetts – and spending a lot of time in the city at his family’s barbershop businesses allowed Corey to bring a diverse voice to the stage. Since a very early age he’s had the ability to impersonate many different voices. He often left family members in tears at gatherings. It wasn’t rare for him to startle his childhood classmates by imitating a teacher or principal’s voice in the hallways.

Corey made a quick transition from class clown to professional headliner. In the early years he honed and developed those skills on the stage of Boston’s beloved Improv Asylum.

Rodrigues has been seen in multiple commercials and in the 2022 streaming Film Salesman. He played a major role in the Independent film Business is War, directed by the late Kemal Gordon, “Corey Rodrigues plays ‘Black,’ a financially challenged individual whose erratic funny cameos bring random laughter at a moment’s notice.” – Entertainment Source 617 “The rest of the cast stands out as well; especially Corey Rodrigues as the comedy relief character Black.” – The Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival.

Additionally, Corey has been able to use his comedic gift to impact the community by raising money for Dana Farber, The Pan Mass Challenge, The American Cancer Society, Rebuilding Boston Together, The Jimmy Fund, The Blue Angels of Manchester, CT and countless other charities.

About Track 15

Track 15, located at 1 Union Station in Providence, RI, is a vibrant, 18,000 square-foot food hall located in the historic Union Station in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. Built in 1898, the original Union Station consisted of 14 intercity rail lines and operated until 1986, when the smaller Amtrak station was built. The food hall’s name Track 15 is a nod to Union Station’s earliest days as the hub of southeastern New England’s transportation network, supporting the machinery, textile, and jewelry industries that fueled the growth and future of Providence.

A haven for foodies, Track 15 is home to seven Rhode Island-based restaurateurs each offering a unique and delicious concept. Guests can try modern Indian from Little Chaska, Middle Eastern cuisine from Tolia, seafood from Dune Brothers, Mexican from Dolores, burgers from There, There, Italian from Giusto PVD, and pizza from Mother Pizzeria PVD, all while enjoying a large central bar, indoor and outdoor seating for approximately 600 patrons, an entertainment venue, and a 10,000 square foot plaza for outdoor seating and special events.
