What to expect
I’m a seasoned comic who can connect with any stage, any audience, and any walk of life. My comedy comes from real experience. I’ve lived every role from husband to dad, stepdad, and even grandpa. Not to mention, I bring all of that to the stage with honesty and humor. I tour nationwide performing in clubs, colleges, and theaters, delivering a show that’s relatable, high‑energy, and built on stories people instantly recognize from their own lives.
About
CJ Starr is a Dallas-based comedian who has toured nationwide, lighting up colleges, clubs, theaters, and any stage that needs a jolt of real-life hilarity.

A seasoned performer with a naturally warm stage presence, CJ brings quick wit, relatable storytelling, and just the right amount of edge. He’s a versatile act who can deliver for parties, comedy clubs, corporate events, church shows, roasts, and any crowd that simply wants to laugh hard.
