About Chris D'Elia
Standup comedians don’t get nearly enough credit for how difficult it is to get in front of a crowd and make people laugh. They deserve even more credit when they’re a triple-threat like comedian Chris D’Elia. Not only is he a well-established standup comedian, but D’Elia is also an actor and a podcast host. He’s found his way onto several well-known TV series, including Whitney, Undateable, and The Good Doctor. Yet, D’Elia still finds the time to write and perform his own standup material and is always eager to get on the road and share his stuff, which is why fans of comedy should always be eager to see him perform every chance they get.
Starting from the Bottom
Like most great standup comedians, D’Elia knows what it’s like to start from the bottom, which means he knows how to appreciate success. He’s been acting since high school but always had an itch to be a writer. In his mid-20s, he decided to give standup a try and was a natural. Of course, he had to pay his dues as a comedian, slowly but surely gaining a larger audience. At the same time, D’Elia was still acting and hosting podcasts to help gain notoriety while also developing comic skills that translate to his standup act. By the mid-2010s, D’Elia was finally headlining standup tours and recording comedy specials.
Save It for the Stage
No matter how many TV series D’Elia appears on or how many podcast shows he hosts, he always considers himself to be a standup comedian first and foremost. He always has an urge to return to the stage and tell jokes in their purest form. Anyone who has ever seen D’Elia perform live can tell that he genuinely loves being on stage. It’s where he’s comfortable and at his most natural. Even for fans of his work as an actor, D’Elia always saves his best performances for the stage, which is why he’s one of the best modern comics to see perform live.
