Christopher Titus jokes about things most comics would find impossible to make funny. Custody battles, insanity, family suicides, heart attacks, and fist-fighting his father are all topics to be confronted, not hidden from. "I think our collective psycosis is hilarious. With the world moving as fast as it is, if we weren't dysfunctional, we couldn't function," says Titus.
Titus is that most rare of comics in that his material is edgy and pushes the envelope, but still accessible and meaningful to the common audience. After much experimentation, he debuted his one man show, "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding," at the Hudson Theater in Los Angeles, where the audience gave him a standing ovation. The show provided the basis for his hit sitcom "Titus," which ran on FOX from 2000-2002. Titus has also appeared on a number of other television shows including "Premium Blend," "The Tonight Show," "Politically Incorrect" and Comedy Central's USO Comedy Tour. He was a host of Comedy Central's "Live at Gotham" in 2006 and played CEO Brody Johns on the ABC series "Big Shots."
