Christopher Titus jokes about things most comics would find impossible to make funny. Custody battles, insanity, family suicides, heart attacks, and fist fighting his father are all topics to be confronted, not hidden from. "I think our collective psychosis is hilarious. With the world moving as fast as it is, if we weren't dysfunctional, we couldn't function," says Titus.
Christopher is the most rare of comics in that his material is edgy and pushes the envelope, but still accessible and meaningful to the common audience. After years of experimentation with dark and personal storytelling, he debuted his one man show, "Norman Rockwell Is Bleeding" at the Hudson Theater in Los Angeles. The packed house gave him a standing ovation. Already a standout at the 1996, 1997 and 1999 Montreal Just for Laugh Festival, in 2000 Christopher brought Norman Rockwell to the Festival for a sold-out run at the prestigious Centaur Theatre.
Christopher's stand-up television appearances include The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Comedy Central's Premium Blend. He has also hosted Fox's Good Day Live, VH1's Dashboard Dreams and Comedy Central's USO Comedy Tour.
A trained and serious actor, his television guest appearances include UPN's Twilight Zone, CBS's Yes, Dear, Fox's 21 Jump Street, Damon and Benyond Belief, NBC's Jenny, and ABC's Lois & Clark. His film credits include co-starring roles in the nuclear submarine thriller Crash Dive and the cult classic Killer Clowns From Outer Space.
He has been a frequent panelist on The Tonight Show, Politically Incorrect and The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. Christopher was the star, executive producer and co-creator of the Fox hit sitcom Titus, a dark comedy based on Normal Rockwell Is Bleeding, which ran from 2000-2002.
Time Magazine called Titus "brutal, hilarious and audacious," while Newsday called him "T.V's most original comic voice since Seinfeld." After Titus finished it's run, Christopher starred in a futuristic on-hour pilot for NBC called Future Tense and has had writing/producing deals with NBC, Sony, and Showtime.
Titus is also the founder of The Insight Project, a non-profit organization that raises money for children who have suffered abusive backgrounds.
