   Christian Finnegan's Comedian Bio
BioHello there, denizens of the internet. My name is Christian Finnegan and I am a stand up comedian, writer and actor living in New York City. Some may recognize me from Chappelle's Show, where I played Chad (the white guy) in the "Mad Real World" sketch. I currently appear every week on VH1's Best Week Ever and TV Land's Game Time. And I also travel this great nation, bringing my own special brand of semi-hilarity to comedy clubs, colleges, rock clubs, shithole bars, empty conference rooms, real estate seminars, turkish whorehouses, bat mitzvahs, doggy fashion shows, crackhouses and nursing home key parties.

sorry about your arm :) perhaps you should have thought twice about announcing that you'd let people hit you after your show, lol

Jul 19 2008 4:02 PM

As I told you before and after the show, you're amazing! And that was the best show ever last night! :-)

Don't ever forget that since you know (of) Chris Wylde, and his brother is married to my cousin, that means we're practically family and/or best friends by default. Score!

Any chance of coming to the University of Florida?
