Cris Nannarone | Cris Nannarone Comedian

In October 1990, Cris Nannarone took on a whole new challenge when he entered the world of STAND-UP COMEDY. "My friends always told me to do it, they dared me, so their responsible. When it goes well, I take credit, when it doesn't, I blame THEM".

Cris' style is Traditional Stand-up, a Microphone, and an Audience (no shiny stuff). He patterns most of his non-offensive material around his own life, personal experiences, misunderstandings, and confusions. "I exaggerate everything that annoys or confuses me. I don't do much on the opposite sex, they scare me". He is at ease in any situation, be it large corporate affair, or small office party. Cris Nannarone is able to paint detailed pictures with his words. When he is on stage, you simply cannot take your eyes off him, he commands your attention in the subtlest way, it feels as though your listening to an old friend. You can easily see his passion for his craft and his respect for the audience," I never talk down to my audience, or think that I'm better than they are. I have tremendous respect for anyone who goes out of their way, rushing home from work, making plans to come to a comedy club. I also believe that a comic is only as good as his audience, when they work together, it's MAGIC".

In 1996 Cris Nannarone made his debut at The Riviera Comedy Club in Las Vegas, has made several appearances on the comedy network's, Comedy at Club 54, has showcased for ABC,NBC,HBO,FOX and CBS, at the Comedy Store, and The Improv in Los Angeles.

During The Vail Comedy Talent Search of 1997, Cris was personally chosen by Bud Friedman, (THE IMPROV), to close out the evening. In 2000 Cris showcased at the prestigious Melbourne Comedy Festival in Australia. In 2001, Cris stared in the T.V. pilot, Comedy @ Home. With Ethnic Comedy shows becoming more popular, Cris has begun performing bilingually, (English/Italian). He has headlined the annual Montreal Italian Week, The Greco Roman Show and The Italian Comedy Festival Tour, produced by JOE AVATI

“I just wanted...to say thanks to Cris Nannarone for putting on a great show at our Annual Stampede Breakfast this past July 13th. I can't imagine it's easy to be 'on your game' at 9 a.m. in the morning, but Cris was truly energetic, taking the show and the audience exactly where they needed to go to have a good time. He was upbeat, quick and worked wonders with the crowd. Hopefully, I will get another opportunity...to introduce Cris again at our Christmas event.”
