John Crist is one of today’s fast-rising stand-up comedians, with more than one billion video views, four million fans on social media and sold-out shows from coast to coast.
Crist is widely known for viral videos like “Honest Football Coach,” “Every Parent at Disney,” “Brands that need to be CANCELLED” plus hundreds more. Crist would still tell you that his live show is better than any of his videos!
In 2019, Crist made Pollstar’s Top 100 Global Tours list, with more than 197,000 tickets sold for his “Human Being Tour.” He held the designation for four consecutive weeks, charting as high as No. 28. Crist’s comedy has been featured on ESPN, The Today Show, HLN, US Weekly, USA Today, SiriusXM, Buzzfeed, The Huffington Post, Cracked, and even The Golf Channel.
When asked where he finds the inspiration to write jokes, Crist said, “I grew up in the deep south, my dad is a pastor, and I was the third of eight homeschooled children. My first job was at Chick-fil-A. Coming from a background like that, how do you NOT write jokes?!”
Crist’s 2016 debut comedy special “I Got Questions” is available now on Amazon Prime, DirecTV, and Spotify.
