A FAVORITE WITH AUDIENCES AND INDUSTRY INSIDERS ALIKE. Chris Distefano is one of today's biggest & most beloved names in comedy. Chris first burst onto the scene as a standout on MTV’s Talking Heads franchise Guy Code/Girl Code, with Popsugar naming him the ”Funniest Guy on MTV”. He became the first stand-up comedian to sell out both the world-famous Radio City Music Hall and the Theater at Madison Square Garden on consecutive nights in 2023.

From there, he went on to star in IFC’s Benders, co-host the Netflix game show Ultimate Beastmaster, and star in his own CBS sitcom.
