Tickets On Sale Now 

DURHAM, NC — February 24, 2025 — Chris Distefano will bring his stand-up tour to the Carolina Theatre of Durham on May 30, 2025. Tickets are on sale now at the venue’s box office and online at www.carolinatheatre.org. 

Distefano is one of today’s biggest and most beloved names in comedy. His fearless yet endearing stage presence and natural ability to connect with audiences around the world has made him a household name in not just comedy, but all entertainment. He quickly rose to success after being named the funniest person on MTV for his show-stopping performances on the “Guy Code” and “Girl Code” series. From there, he went on to star in IFC’s “Benders,” co-hosted the Netflix gameshow “Ultimate Beastmaster,” and starred in his own CBS sitcom. In 2022, Jimmy Kimmel selected Chris to host Jimmy’s latest TV venture, “Super Maximum Retro Show,” for ViceTV. 

Outside of TV, he’s become one of the most well-respected and flat-out funniest comedians in the stand-up world. Fresh off his appearances on “The Late Show with David Letterman” and “Late Night with Seth Meyers” in 2019, Chris released his first full-length special, “Size 38 Waist,” on Comedy Central, which perfectly encompassed both his Brooklyn-born edge and nice-guy charm. His second special, “Speshy Weshy,” premiered on Netflix in May of 2022. 

When he isn’t on stage delivering gut-busting jokes, you can catch him in his element in the comfort of his couch where he records his wildly successful podcasts, “Chrissy Chaos” with Mike Cannon, and “Hey Babe!” with Sal Vulcano, “History Hyenas” with Yannis Pappas, and “Teach Me Daddy” with Matteo Lane. Chris also continues to travel the world on sold-out comedy tours, entertaining thousands by poking fun at the world – and himself – with his uniquely warm energy.
