Now, she is one of America’s most sought after female comics - regularly headlining at major comedy clubs and colleges nationally.

Chris Rich began her performing career as a theatrical triple-threat: an actress/singer/dancer in an endless stream of drama, opera and especially musical comedies: "I did 'Oklahoma!' so many times I qualified for Farm Aid." Those years of stage experience and training were just the foundation for Chris' real goal: standup comedy. Her act naturally involved music and characters, and she has studied voice and acting for years. The combination led one reviewer to rave: "Chris Rich is unbelievably good. "

Many corporations and colleges have praised her "clean and clever" act, and ongoing improv training has kept her spontaneous enough to handle any comedy situation. Comedy clubs appreciated her talent and trusted her enough to open for Jerry Seinfeld, Roseanne, David Brenner & Gilbert Gottfried.
