Chris was a lucky find.

I needed a last minute “random” person to help me with a proposal “do again” for my wife. Chris asked the correct questions and made this super awesome. Most importantly Chris gave what I saw as a resonable price. He is your guy. If you are asking, Chris is your guy.

Charming, Professional, Hilarious

Chris came in and hosted our pop-up comedy event. He was funny and professional. Not your typical comic which many of our audience preferred. His comedy was clean and felt natural.

Chris made our event a success!!

Chris arrived early and was a part of an amazing night of fundraising. He was funny and engaged the audience. There were 350 people attending our fundraiser and we loved him being a part of our night honoring heroes and those that support them.
