Description
Comedy at The Bend featuring
Chris Barnes
and guest Chastity Washington
When he was six years old, Chris Barnes already knew he wanted to be a stand-up comedian. In 1980, he made his first appearance on stage at Sardino’s, a local nite club in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Ever since then, this native Milwaukeean has been making his mark on the comedy scene throughout the Midwest, the South, and the East Coast with his storming style of humor.
Barnes can be best described as a high-energy comic that will take an audience and keep them laughing as he interprets his experiences of life. Barnes is also the man of many faces; his personality and facial expressions will bring an audience to life. Barnes has worked and laughed with such people as John Mendoza, JJ Jimmy Walker, Andrew Dice Clay, Sinbad, Bill Cosby, and many others. It’s no surprise Barnes has become a national headliner, working in such clubs as Dangerfield’s in New York City; Rascal’s in New Jersey; Zanies in Chicago; Chaplin’s in Detroit; Comedy Cafe in Milwaukee; and many others throughout the country.
Comedian Chastity Washington has a performance history over twenty years. In that time, she has performed in clubs & colleges across the nation, worked in radio and has been a middle high school teacher. She has appeared on BET Comic View and Coming to the Stage. Chastity has also been featured at The TBS Just for Laughs festival 2009-12 and was the only female finalist of The 2011 Bay Area Comedy competition. She has been featured at Jokes & Notes in Chicago, Milwaukee’s Comedy Cafe, Madison Comedy Week, the Helium in Philadelphia, the Shaq Comedy All-Stars tour.
