CHRIS ROACH
Standing 6’6” tall Chris is bringing comedy to new heights. His self deprecating humor and mannerisms make this gentle giant stand out from the rest (or at least taller than the rest). Chris brings you into his world talking about everything from his family to some of his unusual life experiences.
Chris’ love for comedy came at an early age. “I remember trying to stay awake as a young kid so I could watch programs like Saturday Night Live and The Benny Hill show” he said. His ability to make people laugh began early in his childhood “I became addicted to the sound of laughter immediately. I would’ve run full speed into a brick wall for a laugh. It’s something that only another comedian could understand” says Chris.
