Multi-hyphen-ate. Comedian - Actor - Host. An alum of The Second City. His live performances are a mix of stand-up and spontaneous theater. He's appeared onstage everywhere with everyone. He dabbled in magic and the rodeo as a child, but in 2005, Cody left Northeast Ohio for his native New Mexico with the idea of opening an improvisational theater. Although he had some success performing with a three-man troupe known as "Cleveland" - consisting of an fellow performer from Ohio who had followed him to New Mexico and a Chicago improviser who had relocated to Albuquerque - the plan to open a theater of his own never materialized. He briefly moved back to Los Angeles before relocating to Northeast Ohio where he tried to figure out the direction which his life should take. A phone call made by the same friend who had followed him out to New Mexico (and long since left the state to pursue other work) informed him The Second City was trying to reach him regarding a new opportunity. That phone call would lead to almost four years of continuous travel within a partnership between The Second City and Norwegian Cruise Line. From Bridgetown, Barbados to Istanbul, Turkey; Cody traveled aboard three different ships performing improvisational and sketch comedy to passengers from all over the world. After fourteen months in the Caribbean, and eighteen months in Europe, Cody took some time off from ships to move to Chicago where he performed with special engagements for the theater (including a six week stint in Arizona, and several one-night engagements across the Midwest) when he was not teaching at its training center. In 2010, Cody returned to sea aboard Norwegian Epic, the second-largest cruise ship in the world. During his eight months of performing he appeared in five-hundred-and-seventy-six shows - including a live action murder mystery he had helped create along with Brendan Dowling and best-selling author Scott Turow. In the fall of 2011 he appeared in a revue created by The Second City specifically for the city of Baltimore. In December he appeared in "The History of Chicago," and in early 2012 he became a member of "The Second City's Improv All Stars" both produced for The Second City Chicago on their newest stage: The UP Theater. In May of 2012, he joined the cast of "The Second City 2: Less Pride, More Pork" - a city-specific theatrical for Cincinnati's Playhouse in the Park. Cody also taught improvisation for the Ohio theater as part of their Summer Camp program. He returned to Ohio in August to begin working on "The Yank," sharing scenes with Fred Willard and Kevin Farley. The production moved to Ireland in September and was joined by the talents of Colm Meaney, and Irish actress Charlotte Bradley.
