The Feed with @seriouslychris

From January 2019 to early 2020, Chris created, hosted, and headlined The Feed with @SeriouslyChris, a monthly musical-comedy variety show in New York.

Premiering at The Peoples Improv Theater (The PIT), this live experience was a vibrant mix of Chris’s original musical comedy and characters, along with a diverse lineup of talented guest performers.

The Feed innovatively mirrored a social media page: the stage was the user interface, the performers were the posts, and the audience sat back and scrolled through a dynamic feed of talent.

Driven by Chris’s passion for building a supportive comedic community and mastering the demanding rhythm of consistent live production, the pandemic ultimately ended its run.
