Hometown: Los Angeles, CA Day Job: Comedian Kansas City native Chris Porter has been a comedian for the past eight years, and says the best part of being a comic is "the complete lack of responsibility." He has performed on Comedy Central and in comedy clubs and colleges all over the country, drawing his material from "living life as a 27-year-old comedian who wakes up at noon and does whatever he wants." Porter got his start in comedy when a friend tried it first and suggested he try it too. "I fell in love with it the moment I stepped on stage," says Porter, whose unique observations on life - often told from a Midwest perspective - help define his "rock 'n' roll" style of comedy. Porter was recently seen on Comedy Central's "Live Tour" and will be appearing in the new season of their series "Live at Gotham," airing this summer. He has performed at The Improv -- including the Hollywood, Miami, Tampa and Orlando locations -- as well as at Funnybones, Zanies, Loony Bins and Stardome. Interview Why will YOU be the Last Comic Standing? I believe I'll be the last comic standing because I am, in fact, the messiah. Funny is... The pain you don't usually talk about. What comedians do you admire and why? Mitch Hedberg, Dave Attell, and Lewis Black. All three of these comics have their own voice, style, and path in this business. All are very successful. Who do you see as your biggest competition? I believe my biggest competition is terrorism. What's the worst job you've ever had? [Working at] McDonald's. |
