More Information About Comedian Christopher Titus

Description

Christopher Titus never lies. The truth can be painful, but the truth is really funny. Employing what he calls "hard funny," Titus has released three ninety-minute albums in as many years. He has four one-hour comedy specials currently running on Comedy Central, including 2011's Neverlution.

After years of experimentation with dark and personal storytelling, he debuted his first one-man show, Norman Rockwell is Bleeding, at the Hudson Theater in Los Angeles. It was from this performance that the FOX sitcom Titus was born. Christopher Titus produced, co-wrote and starred in the show, and it earned him a Writer's Guild nomination as well as an Emmy nomination. Newsday called him "TV's most original voice since Seinfeld."

Christopher Titus has the unique ability to turn dysfunctional family dynamics into a badge of honor. In Norman Rockwell Is Bleeding, Titus introduced us to his beer-guzzling, "slightly abusive" father and his manic-depressive mother. Titus' second one-man show, The Fifth Annual End of the World Tour, was released in 2007 to rave reviews. In it he tackled the Iraq war, raising children in a post-911 world, racism, pedophilia and his father's unconventional funeral. Titus' third show, Love Is Evol, delved into tortured relationships, accusations of domestic violence, child custody and plastic surgery. Titus claims that "this show will either fix your relationship or destroy it, and either way, you're welcome."

Christopher Titus' newest one-man show, Neverlution, premiered July 3rd, 2011 on Comedy Central. Titus declares that it's time to take our country back, namely from our overindulged children, corrupt politicians, prescription drugs and disconnective technology. "We used to be the best at Revolution. We were so badass, we had a Civil War. We fought ourselves."

In addition to his one-man shows, Titus shone in 2007 as the lovable character Brody in the primetime ABC series Big Shots. He also had roles in the films Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Scar and Remarkable Power.

Inspired by the greats who wrote, directed, produced and performed, such as Woody Allen, Steve Martin and Bill Cosby, Titus has had deals with NBC, ABC, FOX and Comedy Central. He is currently converting the script for Special Unit -- a show that Titus describes as "The Shield with handicapped people" -- for film production in 2013.

Christopher Titus is raw, real and most of all, funny. His honesty about his own life gives a voice to the human experience of every person in the audience. To watch one of his shows is to know his world. Everyone walks out of a Christopher Titus show knowing him and loving him.
