Chris Distefano is one of today’s biggest and most beloved names in comedy, and he’ll be performing at Beasley Coliseum on WSU’s Pullman campus on Saturday, April 5, at 7:30 p.m. during the university’s Spring Family Weekend.
Distefano became the first stand-up comedian to sell out both Radio City Music Hall and the Theater at Madison Square Garden on consecutive nights in 2023. His endearing stage presence and natural ability to connect with audiences have made him a household name. He was named the funniest person on MTV for his show-stopping performances on the “Guy Code/Girl Code” series. He co-hosted the Netflix gameshow “Ultimate Beastmaster,” and starred in his own CBS sitcom. In 2022, he was selected by Jimmy Kimmel to host the “Super Maximum Retro Show” on ViceTV.
Outside of TV, Distefano has become one of the most well-respected and flat-out-funniest comedians in the stand-up world. He released his first full-length special, “Size 38 Waist,” on Comedy Central, which perfectly encompassed both his Brooklyn-born edge and nice-guy charm.
Tickets are $45 for WSU students, faculty and staff, and $50 for the general public, and are sale at beasley.wsu.edu.
The coliseum will also host an Arts and Crafts show during the day on April 4 and 5.
