Chris Distefano
Chris Distefano's Bio
Chris Distefano is one of today's biggest and most beloved names in comedy. He became the first stand-up
comedian to sell out both the world-famous Radio City Music Hall and the Theater at Madison Square Garden on
consecutive nights in 2023, but his fearless yet endearing stage presence and natural ability to connect with
audiences around the world has made him a household name in not just comedy, but all of entertainment. Chris
quickly rose to success after being named the funniest person on MTV for his show-stopping performances on the
Guy Code/Girl Code series. From there, he went on to star in IFC’s Benders, co-host the Netflix gameshow Ultimate
Beastmaster, and starred in his own CBS sitcom. In 2022, Chris was selected by Jimmy Kimmel to host Jimmy’s
latest TV venture, Super Maximum Retro Show, for ViceTV. Outside of TV, he’s become one of the most
well-respected and flat-out funniest comedians in the stand-up world. Fresh off his appearances on The Late Show
with David Letterman and Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2019, Chris released his first full-length special, Size 38
Waist, on Comedy Central, which perfectly encompassed both his Brooklyn-born edge and nice-guy charm. His
second special, Speshy Weshy, premiered on Netflix in May of 2022.
When Chris isn’t on stage delivering his gut-busting jokes, you can catch him in his element in the comfort of his
own couch where he records his wildly successful podcasts, Chrissy Chaos, co-hosted by Mike Cannon, and Hey
Babe, co-hosted by Impractical Jokers' Sal Vulcano. Both podcasts are among the most popular on all streaming
platforms and have massive followings on Patreon. A big sports fan, Chris has hosted episodes of shows including
MLB’s Off The Bat and MSG's The Brackets, and was invited by the Chicago White Sox to throw the first game
pitch in the summer of 2024, Chicago Cubs in 2022, and New York Mets in 2021. Chris continues to travel the world
on a sold-out comedy tour, entertaining thousands by poking fun at the world – and himself – with his uniquely
warm energy. His much-anticipated third special is set to release in early 2025.
