Cris Nannarone

With more than 3,500 live performances, stand-up comedian Cris Nannarone is a veteran road warrior. Nannarone has traveled throughout North America headlining comedy clubs, festivals, conferences and everything in between.

Cris' style is traditional stand-up - a microphone and an audience (no shiny stuff). His material is inspired by his own life - personal experiences, misunderstandings and mix-ups, "I exaggerate everything that annoys or confuses me," he says. "I don't do much on the opposite sex, they scare me."

Cris grew up in an Italian family, full of laughs, passion and lots of great food. "My mother was the best cook I've ever known, I'm not, I'm a good orderer, and a great eater."

In 2012 Cris landed his greatest gig ever as Host of the hottest food battle series on TV, Best In Chow, the Ultimate search for the best Food in every town city or hamlet. now shooting its second season and airing on CMT Canada & The Cooking Channel U.S.

Cris' unique child-like enthusiastic personality combined with the fact that he is a complete blank page in terms of culinary creation make him a refreshing delight in the ubiquitous food show revolution.

Not one who considers himself "Adventurous" when it comes to dinner, Cris' Motto is "I know what I like, and I like what I know. But I'll try anything once, ONCE!"
