CHRIS PORTER
	Kansas City native Chris Porter has been a comedian for the past 11 years, and says the best part of being a comic is "the complete lack of responsibility." You know his from NBC's Last Comic Standing and he has performed on Comedy Central and in comedy clubs and colleges all over the country, drawing his material from "living life as a comedian who wakes up at noon and does whatever he wants." Porter got his start in comedy when a friend tried it first and suggested he try it too. "I fell in love with it the moment I stepped on stage," says Porter, whose unique observations on life - often told from a Midwest perspective - help define his "rock 'n' roll" style of comedy. Porter was recently seen on Comedy Central's "Live Tour" and will be appearing in the new season of their series "Live at Gotham," airing this summer. If you like rock and roll, comedy, pot, being irresponsible, etc, then you will love Chris' comedy!
	Chris Porter "Screaming from the Cosmos" DVD Chris Porter’s first live performance DVD, “Screaming from the Cosmos,” might be misnamed. Instead of screaming, Porter rolls into his performance, a little closer to the cosmos with the help of some pre-show merriment. Oh yes, folks, he did inhale. Pot, for Porter, is like Tang for astronauts or steroids for Barry Bonds – a performance-enhancing drug that helps him get the job done each and every time. Porter, best known to many audiences for his top three finish on NBC’s competitive comedy show “Last Comic Standing,” delivers top notch, relatable humor with the candor and comfort of a college buddy. Before a psychedelic backdrop in his hometown, he belies his stoner persona with whip smart, staunchly apolitical jokes that cannily hit on life’s highs and lows – and definitely its absurdities. Porter seems as at-home on stage as he might be on your couch as he saunters through his wry observations on everything from Axe body spray to the bad manners of the elderly and the ridiculous world of nightclubs. Minute by minute, Porter tells people jokes of the highest order. Viewers with a hankering for even more laughs will be happy to find that “Screaming from the Cosmos” also includes a full commentary of Porter and his producer trading burns, wandering way off-topic, and discussing both “Last Comic Standing” and whether cinematography is better when the camera’s at ball-height. Oh, and for the really dedicated, the commentary does explain the DVD title. We promise.
