Though he is probably best known for his sitcom Titus, Christopher Titus is mainly a stand up comic seen frequently on Comedy Central. He also records for them. He was born Oct. 1, 1964 in Castro Valley, CA. His parents divorced when he was a child and he was raised by his father in Newark, CA. His mom suffered from mental illness. So Titus has used his dysfunctional childhood as comedy material. Eventually, his mom committed suicide and his dad died in 2001 after plenty of hard partying. Titus almost died just like his dad. But instead he channeled it into his stand up comedy. In the 90s, Titus became a regular at comedy festivals like Just For Laughs. A Fox executive saw his show and offered Titus a sitcom. The show did well and it was critically acclaimed. But Titus had problems with network censors. And then he butted heads with Fox over a storyline they wanted him to do and that's when the show was cancelled. After that Titus returned to stand up comedy and that's what he does today. He signed with Comedy Central in 2007 and he still works for them. They release all his shows on CD and DVD. The 5th Annual End Of The World Tour was his first album in 2007. You can watch the entire concert on Youtube. Titus also had a successful podcast for a few years. He has done some movies and TV and he was the host of the Pawn Stars game show spinoff Pawnography. He did his most recent Comedy Central special in 2016. Here's Christopher Titus performing English Batman from the 2007 Comedy Central special The 5th Annual End Of World Tour.
