Overview

Unusual? Always. Predictable? Never. Hilarious? Definitely!

Comedian Chris Shaw brings his bouncy, cleverly physical style, and show’s how this national headliner has become a crowd favorite! Drawing his audiences in through bizarre metaphors and hilarious facial expressions, bringing the crowd along for the ride...only to send them into unsuspecting waters.

Whether in full-blown "character mode" for a club, college or festival show, or in a tux for a corporate or fundraiser, his expert timing, explosive enthusiasm, and radiant passion is always evident.

This frequent cable performer is available for a side-splitting evening of funny business at YOUR NEXT EVENT!

Chris triggered some loud, unrestrained laughter!

We enjoyed your unusual and unpredictable observational humor and your jazzy suit too!
Loved the deer stories and how Chris worked each table at the banquet.

Thank you, James! Your group was great (yes, even 'chuckles') and made it so much fun for ME when they 'played along'! Thank you for booking me for the musical portion of the evening as well! Cool requests, singing along, and just a great vibe. Hope to do it again next year!!
