No better enemy, no worse friend, Chris Gillespie has captivated tens of audiences. You can catch him causing ruckuses at Waffle House, or you can catch him at any given open mic in Phoenix. You can also catch him with 8 lbs Test line, but this is only recommended for expert fishermen. His storytelling is high in energy despite his dark material regarding his survival of Katrina, his hatred of his Marine Corps experience, and the loss loved ones. Despite how depressing the last sentence sounds, Chris always grabs the laugh in the end. In 2017 started the Drunken Spelling Bee at night clubs in Scottsdale AZ, where he developed a high energy to compete with the overly drunk and overly entitled audiences in Scottsdale Arizona. This was then added to the Big Pine Festival Roster in 2017, and then again in 2018. The premise is simple: the audience gets to participate, get drunk and try to spell words at the expense of their sobriety and crowd laughter. Starting in 2018, Chris placed 3rd in the Next Best Comic of the Four Corners in Durango Colorado and began touring breweries across the country in places such as Sheridan Wyoming, Gillette Wyoming, Boulder, and Denver Colorado.
