My name is Chris Palmieri. I am a stand up comedian, actor, writer, director and filmmaker. I have always had a love for entertainment and I've been more and more involved with various aspects of performance since my first stage play in 2004. I am a member of the National Thespian Society. I have performed in several stage plays, one of which I co-wrote and directed, I have been performing stand up comedy since 2005 and I write, direct, edit, produce and perform in my own live action and animated short films. If you'd like to know anything else about me, send me a message.
