I'm an actor and comedian living in Madison. I am always on the lookout for projects and performance opportunities. I've been featured in The New York Times and on Good Morning America. In 2025 I shot a commercial and a small part in an independent feature film. I've also been doing stand up comedy for over 15 years and have been part of the Brooklyn Comedy Festival, The What a Joke national comedy festival, and the Cape Fear Comedy Festival.

If an audience came to see me they could expect funny, observational, and absurd comedy delivered with high energy and joyful intentions! My comedy is for everybody and I open up to an audience via personal stories and specific quirks.
A client would get a professional who cares very deeply about their craft. I take the jobs of comedian and actor seriously while delivering on the vision of the person who is hiring me. I am very open to direction particularly with my acting. I will never leave a client hanging or be out of communication for extended periods of time.
Chris Calogero is a comedian/actor/writer and your new best friend.
He’s been featured in The New York Times, Funny or Die, Vice, Fusion TV, Paste Magazine, and AOL’s 2 Point Lead web series. He has performed in the Cape Fear Comedy Festival, What a Joke National Comedy Festival, The Brooklyn Comedy Festival, and More. Chris recently appeared in commercials for Veradermics, SingleCare and Air Lift. He can be seen in the role of Dr. Francis in the forthcoming comedy "The Booth." Though he currently resides in Madison, WI, he is originally from New Jersey, and he would absolutely love to hear your sandwich opinions.
As a comedian all I need is a stage, mic, and amplified sound!
As an actor whatever you have or are working with works for me!
My favorite comedians include Gary Gulman, Paul F Tompkins, Marc Maron, and Patton Oswalt. I aspire to be as good at my chosen art form as they have been.
Actors I admire are Paul Giamatti, John C. Reilly, and Michael Rooker.
