| This
world is full of surprises, and the stand-up comedy of Chris Doucette
is no exception. Weighing in at 110 pounds and measuring under 5'7",
Chris is living proof that big things really do come in small packages.
Chris is the son of a trucker and the first in his family to graduate
college. He’s
got a blue collar attitude with an ivy league wit. Chris also represents
the next generation of gay comedians. His audience knows he's gay and
he uses it to full advantage without resorting to stereotypes or cliches.
His humor is current, topical, and completely original. Said one audience
member, "I hate stand-up comedy - but you, you made me laugh out
loud!"
In 1988, Chris won 1st place in the Massachusetts State FFA Livestock
Showmanship competition. Since then, Chris has rapidly become one of the
country's best gay comics. Chris was selected as a feature comic at the
Charleston Comedy Festival, Baltimore Comedy Festival, Baltimore Artscape
Festival, and headlined the Ganymede Arts Festival. Chris has shared the
stage with Hal Sparks, Tony Woods, Judy Gold and Elvira Kurt. He has performed
on FOX, NPR, The Joey Reynolds Show on WOR 710AM, and Comedy Nonsense
on WJFK 106.7 FM. He has appeared in The Washington Post Express, Miami
Sun-Sentinel, Metro Weekly, Next Magazine, and the Village Voice. The
blogs love him: he's been featured in brightestyoungthings.com, thenewgay.net,
and thegayplaces.com.
