Chris White
Chris White is one of the hottest prospects on the comedy scene. Sometimes goofy, sometimes twisted and always original, Chris' stories are filled with right angles, making for one of the most surprising and fresh shows around. It's dark humor with a light hearted touch; an approach that led the Boston Globe to call him "a hidden gem".
In the last three years, Chris has become a crowd favorite in Washington D.C. and Baltimore, participated in the Boston and Washington comedy festivals, and worked at clubs across the country. In May 2005 he won the Carnival Comedy Challenge in Pittsburgh, Pa., and he has worked with Kathleen Madigan, Brian Regan, Bobby Slayton, Louis CK, and Bob Zany.
Chris owns and operates the Web site dcstandup.com, and in August 2004 he released his first full-length comedy CD, "Forbidden Style," with 45 minutes of original material, and he is heard regularly on XM Satellite Radio.
Chris was born and raised outside of Philadelphia and is one of three brothers. He is a life-long fan of the Phillies, Eagles, Flyers and 76ers, which requires both an excellent sense of humor and the ability to swing a bar stool. After studying history and journalism at the University of Richmond, Chris edited opinion columns at The Washington Post for five years before becoming a full-time comedian. He currently lives on Capitol Hill.
