Starting standup comedy: About the comedian
Hi! I’m Chris. I’m 43, which is like 294 in dog years. I just moved to Colorado from Boston, but I grew up in Kansas. I’m at a point in life where I want an outlet for my creativity that, while I’d love to be famous and have you kiss my ass for, would be fun even if that doesn’t happen.
In terms of comedy, my overwhelming strong suit is writing. In my first four months doing standup, I performed around 40 unique minutes of comedy. I probably have another ten I can do whenever. Was it all good? Yes! Like, REALLY good.
I’m not saying it would all work in the same special, but that’s really where I shine. For me, getting into comedy has been about getting up there and not shaking apart from nerves.
My 2024 resolution was to start doing comedy. So naturally, I started doing comedy in July of 2024, halfway through the fucking year. I do one show a week, and I’m feeling pretty good about my progress. Hopefully, you’ll find my journey interesting and helpful. If not, I can always start a feet-friendly OnlyFans. Whatever you’re into.
