Washington, DC
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 touch – and the Boston Globe almost won the Pulitzer for criticism by calling him a “hidden gem.” It was really close voting, we swear. "I like Chris' act because it's so original," says Chris White, but we assure you, a completely different Chris White. "He sets you up to expect a regular punchline, then he completely surprises you. Like his joke about his new diet -- letting hatred eat away at him from the inside. I laughed so hard it made me forget the stunning cruelty of man's inhumanity to man, sort of. Excuse me, I have to go sit in a dark room and cry."
