DISTEFANO New York-based actor and comedian Chris Distefano is poised
to have a busy 2019. With his first hour standup special premiering,
his popular TV series extended, and an overall deal with Comedy
Central, Chris has become a favorite with audiences and industry
insiders alike.Chris’ first hour standup special Chris Disefano:
Size 38 Waist premiered on Comedy Central on January 18th, 2019. His
half hour standup special premiered on the network in 2014. Chris’
weekly interstitial Comedy Central series Stupid Questions with Chris
Distefano was also just extended for a new batch of episodes. The
series, created to intertwine Comedy Central’s stand-up world with
its deep archive of classics during the network’s stand-up heavy
Friday nights, features Distefano and a guest out late, catching up,
and doing their best to answer stupid questions. There are no wrong
answers, just truly stupid questions. In addition to his first special
and the extension of his series, Comedy Central just signed Chris to
an overall deal for exclusive on- and off-camera services, as well as
a first look at content created/developed for any platform. The pact
encompasses several projects already in development, including a
second hour-long stand-up special, an animated series, and an
unscripted series. He also co-stars in the web series Bay Ridge Boys
alongside fellow comic Yannis Pappas. Also with Pappas, Chris co-hosts
the popular weekly history podcast History Hyenas, which is available
on iTunes and Riotcast.Chris first burst onto the scene as a standout
on MTV’s talking heads franchise Guy Code/Girl Code, with PopSugar
naming him the “funniest guy on MTV.” He went on to star in the
IFC series Benders and serve as co-host of Netflix’s Ultimate
Beastmaster. He also recently starred in and Co-Executive Produced the
Sony/CBS pilot Distefano, based on his life and written by Carter Bays
and Craig Thomas, the creators of How I Met Your Mother. He has
appeared on TruTV’s Comedy Knockout and MSG Network’s People
Talking Sports, and he has performed stand-up on NBC’s Late Night
with Seth Meyers, CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman, and AXS
TV’s Gotham Comedy Live. Chris is a favorite on the standup festival
circuit, with Interrobang lauding his recent appearance at The
Moontower Comedy Festival as “one of the best sets of the fest”
and Exclaim! calling his 2018 appearance at The Montreal Just For
Laughs Festival “a pleasure to watch with his macho but never
arrogant style.” He can be seen performing almost every weekend at
clubs and theaters across the country, and he can be heard as a
regular guest on many of Sirius XM Radio’s most popular shows,
including The Bonfire, Jim Norton and Sam Roberts, and Sway in the
Morning. Links: Official Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram |
