Cohen has received positive critical reception for performing comedy cabaret, and was named on "comedians to watch" lists by Vulture and Time Out in 2018.[5][6] She has a monthly show at Joe's Pub called The Twist...? She's Gorgeous, which includes singing and accompaniment, and a weekly show called Cabernet Cabaret at Club Cumming. Both shows are performed with her frequent collaborator, Henry Koperski, who accompanies her on the piano.[3][7] Her performances were described by Madeleine Aggeler of The Cut as "a spinning, glittery, Technicolor explosion".[1] She also co-hosts a monthly comedy show called It's a Guy Thing with Patti Harrison and Mitra Jouhari.[2]
As an actress, Cohen has appeared on comedy series such as High Maintenance, Broad City, Search Party, and What We Do in the Shadows.[1] She performed an original comedic song called "Look At Me" on Late Night with Seth Meyers in July 2019.[8] Her first Netflix comedy special, also called The Twist...? She's Gorgeous, was released in 2022 based on her 2019 show at the Edinburgh Festival.[9]
