J. Chris Newberg is one of the most original talents to burst upon the stand up comedy scene in years. Picture Bob Dylan and his six-string with Dennis Miller’s incisive, cerebral wit and you begin to glimpse the unique, comedy talent that is J. Chris Newberg. After just a few short months performing locally, the Detroit media described Newberg as the “Best Local Comedian.” Not since Tim Allen and Dave Coulier has any performer received so many accolades in the Detroit comedy market.

 

J. Chris’ refreshingly smart and edgy humor, delivered with a streetwise sense of philosophical cool has now propelled him into the national spotlight. Chris has performed on the nationally syndicated radio program “The Bob and Tom Show,” Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend,” and made his network television debut on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” J. Chris Newberg was nominated as Comedian of the Year by Campus Activities Magazine for 2004.
