J Chris Newberg - Comedian

J. Chris Newberg's refreshingly smart and edgy humor, delivered with a streetwise sense of philosophic cool, has propelled the guitarist/songwriter-cum-comedian to the forefront of the Michigan comedy scene. Just five months after Newberg's debut, a Detroit Free Press story on metro Detroit comedy cited him as one of five local comics most likely to break out into the national spotlight. A guitarist and songwriter for veteran Detroit rock band, the Vudu Hippies, Newberg's standup comedy cleverly combines his hilarious and off-beat observations on life with original, acoustic guitar melodies. His improvisational, acoustic interludes led him to enroll at the nationally renowned Second City Comedy Troupe, where he studied improv humor for two years. As a comic, he has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live (ABC) Comedy Central's Premium Blend (Comedy Central) The World Stands Up (BBC) Last Comic Standing 4 (NBC) and The Sports List (Fox Sports). One of the most original talents to burst upon the Midwest comedy scene in years, J. Chris Newberg is a talent destined for national exposure. Currently, he's in production on his own reality show.
