When he was six years old, Chris 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. Feature perform Jay Boc Jay was born J. Brian O’Connell to Irish and German parents. That probably explains the drinking. He grew up during the 60’s and 70’s in Wilmington, Delaware riding sting ray bikes and listening to top 40 music while tormenting his 3 siblings. His goal was to become a black soul singer in a group like the Stylistics or the Chi-lites. Only two things stood in his way, he was (and still is) white and he couldn’t sing. Jay loved to make people laugh, so he started playing sports. Upon returning from a Phillies’ game he decided to emulate his new-found hero. He grabbed an empty Nehi soda case and walked around the neighborhood shouting “Beeer Heeere.” Upon graduating (read, asked to leave) a catholic high school Jay moved to California to begin what would come to be known as his “Decade of Decadence”. Jay is now on the other side of the generation gap and is married to a Latina. He is now an old white man immersed in the Hispanic culture. The father of a son and daughter, Jay is the only one in his family that does not speak Spanish. This leads to bouts with paranoia, especially when they point and laugh. After living in Delaware, California, Georgia, and Wisconsin (courtesy of the witness protection plan), he has settled down in Ohio. Prior to his mid-life crisis, he has worked as a plumber, bartender, repo-man, stuntman, banker, and appraiser. His clean style of humor comes from his observations of the world he has been exposed to. It is rare to find a comic that can draw from his experiences in both the blue collar and white collar work environments, day-to-day living in the Midwest and on both coasts, a family environment, and the unique perspective of a white man in a Latino world. Jay’s humor transitions nicely from comedy clubs to colleges, to cruises to corporate shows. And your Emcee and Host for the evening is the incredibly funny Angel Isaac 21 and over, 18 years of age with parent or legal guardian.
