Christopher Titus

825K followers

Christopher Titus is an American comedian, podcaster, and actor born in Castro Valley, California, on October 1, 1964. His early life was marked by significant family shifts; his parents divorced when he was young, leading to a childhood spent living with both parents, grandparents, and other relatives. The loss of his mother to suicide in 1994 deeply impacted him, and this experience, along with other familial challenges, forms a central theme in much of his comedic work. He married Erin Carden in 1991, and they had two children before their divorce in 2006; the subsequent custody battle is also reflected in his material. Titus’s comedic talent and charisma are frequently noted by critics. Titus’s career began with stand-up comedy, often drawing on those dysfunctional family experiences for material. He gained wider recognition when he created and starred in the sitcom Titus on FOX from 2000 to 2002. His first special, Norman Rockwell is Bleeding , was presented at the Montreal Just for Laughs festival in 2000 and later filmed for Comedy Central in 2004. Subsequent specials, including The Fifth Annual End of the World Tour (2007), Love is Evol (2008/2009), Neverlution (2011), and Voice in My Head (2013), explore a range of topics from raising children after 9/11 and his father's death to divorce, dating, politics, and personal failures and successes. The Voice in My Head special even includes an anecdote about an early job impersonating Darth Vader. Currently, Christopher Titus continues to perform and connect with audiences through stand-up specials and a podcast. He co-hosts the Christopher Titus Podcast with his wife Bombshell Rae since 2011. His recent specials include Angry Pursuit of Happiness (2014), Born With a Defect (2016), Amerigeddon (2018), and Zero Side Effects (2023). Carrying Monsters , released in 2024, is his tenth 90-minute special, featuring 15 audio tracks and touring through November 2025; it includes stories from his childhood, such as roaming bars with his mother at age four and a recounting of being kidnapped from Detroit. Critics consistently describe Titus as one of the best storytellers in comedy, praising his understated confidence when addressing challenging subjects and his ability to be both hilarious and harrowing. He maintains an Instagram account and provides email updates to fans regarding tour dates, specials, and merchandise through a newsletter.
