Chris Florence

As a child, Chris had a chance to see Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy films he probably shouldn't have, but those memorable encounters ultimately planted the comedy acting seed. Chris's comedic journey has taken him to many comedy clubs in Florida while attending college and to Hollywood appearing at the Laugh Factory, Comedy Store, Hollywood Improv and other local LA clubs. Chris debuted at Bonkerz, a small comedy club in Altamonte Springs while attending the University of Central Florida. Shortly after, Chris became one of the Orlando Improv's favorite new comics. He quickly realized that he had something special and decided to take a shot at the "Biz" in Los Angeles. After a couple years on the circuit, Chris got an agent and began auditioning for commercials. After joining the military for a few years and deploying to Afghanistan, Chris now lives in Austin, Texas, where he performs stand-up and is also an actor. Chris's comedy serves as an extension of himself with his jokes displaying experiences, transitions and perspectives in his life. Chris hopes to make an impression in the world of comedy and entertainment following the footsteps of those who came before him.
