Chris Gethard's MAGIC BOX OF STORIES
Chris Gethard (Stepfathers, Nights of Our Lives, Asssscat) has lived a weird life filled with many weird stories. From the age of three (when he lived next to the dwarf powerlifting champion of New Jersey) to last week (when he was involved in a high speed car chase with a man claiming to be Andy Kaufman) it seems like stuff just happens to the guy. Why? Even he's not sure. But he's ready to share all of his stories with you, the audience, as you randomly pick stories from his Magic Box so he can tell them on stage.
Co-starring his mom, "Big" Sally Gethard, via video.
"Chris Gethard has had a longstanding relationship with the weird. As a writer, he's one of the scribes of Weird NJ and Weird NY, compendiums of regional oddities, and in his own life the strange has followed him from youth to present age... Gethard seems to court bizarre scenarios." - The Onion
"Chris Gethard has been blessed with a funny perspective on the events of his life - and charmed with the timing to consistently be in the right place at the bizarre time." - Time Out NY
