Featuring Kim Cook

Chris Young – Headliner
You’ve seen Chris Young at comedy clubs, colleges and casinos as well as corporate shows nation-wide. He has appeared at the Gilda’s LaughFest in Grand Rapids, MI the Laughing Skull Festival and the Canton Comedy Festival. His DryBar Special has millions of views. He was the winner of the TV20 Detroit “That’s Funny” Comedy Contest on My Network, as well as a finalist in Dave Coulier’s “Clean Guys of Comedy/Unbleepable Contest.” Chris is also a favorite on radio stations all across the country.
Chris Young is able to take real life experiences and turn them into laughs that maintain a clean but funny appearance. Chris’s luck (or lack thereof) have lead him to look at the world through a different set of glasses. Having once been called a pessimist by a fellow classmate, he replied simply, that he is not a pessimist but a optimist, as he believes things could not get any worse!
