Chris, a comedian

Chris is a stand-up comedian. He has performed in comedy clubs and college campus across the country, and has even appeared on television.

One challenge I faced when getting into comedy was convincing people that I could be understood on stage, making out my speech patterns. I remember one conversation in particular where I was on the phone for an hour, and finally I said, ‘Well, wait a minute. You contend that people can’t understand me, and we’ve been talking for 60 minutes. You’ve never once asked me to repeat myself.’
