Christopher Titus is best known as the star, executive producer and co-creator of the critically acclaimed series TITUS, which ran on Fox Television for three years. The series was a dark comedy based on Christopher’s critically acclaimed one-man show, Norman Rockwell Is Bleeding, which was hailed by TV Guide as one of the top ten shows to watch on television. Time Magazine called TITUS “brutal, hilarious and audacious,” while Newsday called Christopher “TV’s most original comic voice since Seinfeld.”
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 and are areas his sitcom explores. “I think our collective psychosis is hilarious. With the world moving as fast as it is, if we weren’t dysfunctional, we couldn’t function,” says Titus.
Starting at age eighteen, he used to wait outside the comedy clubs with the door cracked, listening for his intro so he could rush to the stage, do his set and make a quick exit because he was under age. Twelve years later Christopher is one of the best headliners in the country with a unique and insightful act based on his one-of-a-kind life experiences. 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. The packed house gave him a standing ovation. His show has certainly evolved from the days when he was touring the country as Kenny Loggins’ opening act doing what he
refers to as his old “happy boy” act. Christopher’s stand-up television appearances include NBC’s Comedy Showcase and Friday Night!, A & E’s An Evening At The Improv and Caroline’s Comedy Hour, and Comedy Central’s Premium Blend. A trained and serious actor, his television guest appearances include Fox’s 21 Jumpstreet, Damon, and Beyond Belief, NBC’s Jenny and ABC’s Lois & Clark. His film credits include co-starring roles in the nuclear submarine thriller Crash Dive, and the cult classic Killer Clowns From Outer Space. Christopher was a standout at the 1996, 1997 and 1999 Montreal Just for Laughs Festivals.
