Known for his viral stand-up clips that have amassed millions of views, his online sketch series God n Angel (1.6M followers), and his comedy special Live at the Fort, Chris is quickly establishing himself as one of comedy's most distinctive rising voices. A festival favorite, Chris has performed at the New York Comedy Festival, Netflix is a Joke Comedy Festival, and High Plains Comedy Festival, while taking home Best of the Fest honors at both Westend Comedy Festival and 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festival. His comedy has been featured on Don't Tell Comedy, ViceTV, Bob & Tom, and he's currently selling out stops nationwide.

Chris combines Colorado's outdoor spirit with Chicago's comedy hustle to create something entirely his own. Chris would list more credits, but it's generally frowned upon to claim you're the host of the Tonight Show without being Jimmy Fallon.
