If you don’t know who Cat Cohen is yet, believe us, you will. She’s a comedian, singer, and actor with staggering stage presence who has influenced the New York comedy scene more than you can imagine. Now that her beloved show “The Twist? She’s Gorgeous” is out on Netflix, she’s workshopping new material, and Nylon was lucky enough to come along for the ride.
