Leading the way in teetotaller comedy!
Part of the 2016 Comedy Central New York Comedy Festival line up, Chris D'Elia is currently leading the stand-up heavy cast of NBC's Undateable, starring as Danny, a guy with some pretty serious commitment issues. He also played opposite Whitney Cummings in her short lived self-titled sitcom, but stand-up comedy remains his first love, saying "Once I started doing stand-up, everything fell into place." The Los-Angeles born performer began his comedy in 2006, when after attempts at acting and screen writing, he decided that telling jokes was the thing for him.
And so it proved, with his observational riffs on life's little issues and committed slapstick silliness seeing him become an increasingly popular performer on Comedy Central. One of his most popular routines is his observation of the Catholic Mass, where he commented on certain "creepy aspects" of it. And despite playing a drunk on Whitney, he is a committed lifelong teetotaller and drug abstainee.
