Chris Distefano

You ever been to Brooklyn? No? Well, Chris Distefano will tell you all about it! Distefano is the definition of New York Comedian: His father may have been in the mob, his grandpa WAS in the mob, and Distefano himself was expelled from Catholic school. While the Distefano clan is tough, Chris takes a gentler approach, not coming off as macho so much as a man aware of his surroundings. Come for the accent, stay for his stories about eating too much weed.

8 pm on 10/17 and 8 & 10:30 pm, 10/18-19, Comedy on State. $22-$15.

press release: Chris co-hosts the popular weekly history podcast History Hyenas alongside fellow comic Yannis Pappas, which is available on iTunes and Riotcast. He starred in the IFC series Benders and served as co-host of Netflix’s Ultimate Beastmaster. He also recently starred in and Co-Executive Produced the Sony/CBS pilot Distefano, written by Carter Bays and Craig Thomas (How I Met Your Mother). He is a favorite on the standup festival circuit, with Interrobang lauding his recent appearance at The Moontower Comedy Festival as “one of the best sets of the fest” and Exclaim! calling his 2018 appearance at The Montreal Just For Laughs Festival “a pleasure to watch with his macho but never arrogant style.”
