Chris Fairbanks is a local comedian that’s made good – playing LA clubs and shows, an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a busy touring schedule and writing. He’s returning to Missoula for one night and two shows at the Crystal Theatre at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 28. Tickets are $15 in advance at www.todaysdealmissoula.com or $20 at the door.
Though born in California, Chris has plenty to say about the move to Missoula when he was two. “I’ve been back to Monterey, and it’s just a place with rich people and art galleries. It’s not the cool, weird, liberal town that Missoula is.” Chris graduated from Sentinel HS in 1993 and University of Montana shortly after. Moving to Austin in 1998, he started standup comedy and has been practicing the craft ever since.
Missoula is excited for his return. On his last visit, he says half the audience was his family and friends. “This time, they’re charging people, so I should get more strangers.” Don’t miss Chris Fairbanks and his take on being from Montana on Saturday night.
