Saturday Night Live may not be retuning until later this year, but it doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy the talent of its cast members. This weekend SNL alum Chris Redd will be hitting the stage at the Addison Improv.
Redd is an actor, writer, stand-up comic and rapper from St. Louis, MO. In 2018, he received the Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for the “SNL” song “Come Back, Barack.” He most notably appeared in the 2016 film “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping” and opposite Kathy Bates in the Netflix original comedy series “Disjointed.” In 2017, Redd debuted his own half-hour episode of “Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents” and in 2019 released his debut stand-up album “But Here We Are.”
Redd can be seen in the comedy films “Deep Murder,” “The House,” and “A Futile and Stupid Gesture.” In TV, Redd starred in the cult-classic series “Wet Hot American Summer” and was featured in NBC’s “Will & Grace,” Netflix’s “Love,” Comedy Central’s “Detroiters” and “Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents.” Additionally, Redd was featured as a 2016 Standup New Face at Just For Laughs in Montreal. Redd was previously a performer at Chicago’s Second City.
You can catch him from Thursday August 22nd to Saturday August 24th. Tickets can be purchased here. Check out a recent sketch of his from last season on Saturday Night Live.
