Christopher Titus

Comedian and actor Christopher Titus’s personal storytelling delivery is inspired by his own real-life experiences, creating what he calls, “hard funny.” Across multiple hour-long comedy specials and television shows, Titus talks about everything from relationships and religion to politics and plastic surgery. His latest tour, “Born with a Defect,” promises to be a stress reliever for some, and therapy for others.
