About

I’m Chris Dolan. I’m originally from Upstate New York, but now living and working in and around Philly.

I started doing comedy in my 40s, after decades working for companies both large & small that either grew to dislike me or vice-versa.

I’ve appeared in Best of The City & other showcases at Helium Comedy Club in Philly, and in All-Pro Showcases at Punch Line Philly. I’ve hosted at Bananas Comedy Club in North Jersey and done fundraiser feature & hosting work for Comedy Shoppe of NJ/PA.

Modest achievements:

  • One time I won a radio station comedy contest in Philly. The contest doesn’t exist anymore but I swear to God it happened.
  • I’ve finished second in other comedy contests. So, true to form, I try harder.
  • I’ve been rejected by every comedy festival to which I have ever applied!
  • I occasionally produce shows, so I can book cool, fun people who I like to watch. Every show has turned a profit, and the comics & audience had a great time. Sweet.

I can work clean or dirty. Or, ideally, somewhere in between. I’ve opened for comics you’ve probably heard of or seen on tv/streaming … but let’s face it, they couldn’t pick me out of a lineup on a bet so I won’t name-check anybody.

Almost every weekday I post ten topical jokes; hit the Blog link to read ’em. I’ve been doing it since 2017, so that makes thousands of jokes that thousands of people will never see.
