You get to define one of the stops on our cross country adventure. These will be the only stops we pre-determine for the entire trip. You can tell us to go anywhere - "I definitely want you to come to my house." or "Why not go to my friend's house and scare the shit out of him in the middle of the night?" or "My frat is throwing a party and we want you to come party with us so we have some nerds to make fun of." We don't care. We'll make it work. As long as you can give us an address that shows up in our GPS, we'll take you up on it.

The Chris Gethard Show takes place once a month at the UCB Theater in New York, NY. In just over a year of existence, they've staged 13 crazy shows. One took place in Chris's apartment. Another served as a match making service that brought together three couples who are still together. Another featured an event called "The Wheel of Degradation" that will take way too long to explain. Our cast is a group of talented, creative, motivated weirdos who really want to give the audience things they don't expect, and in a way they don't expect.
Besides Chris, who is the ringmaster of the show, the cast includes Shannon O'Neill (the most badass lady in NYC), Don Fanelli (the handsomest man in Hackensack, NJ), and Will Hines (Chris's unfunny 40 year old sidekick). Bethany Hall, our stage manager, and Jon Demuth, our video director, will also make the trek, as will our house band - The Kung Fu Monkeys!
My headshot is on its way to utter debasement. Hooray! MLD
Since I don't have $500 to give, I'll merely suggest a stop: Once y'all get to Los Angeles, I highly recommend stopping at the University of Southern California. Every weekend there are many house parties and frat parties to choose from. Also, I invite all of you to sleep on my dorm floor!
I couldn't think of a cooler project to get funded than this that doesn't have scary overtones, like hunger, AIDS, and overpopulation. So I'd rather drop my cash for a good time now.. I'm amped that each day I can see some Kickstarter funded shenanigans on the web. Just keep El Debarge in your thoughts, OK? Good luck. #TheFuture
Congrats on reaching the goal early!!! I hope to do the same! Wish me luck! eek!
Nick - I thought that was implied in the existence of this project at all.
I like to think that my money will help bail someone out of a small town jail.
Frankie J - where do you live? Maybe on our x-country tour I can come over to hand deliver you the money and have this discussion. Also, I love that you registered for Kickstarter just to post that.
You should pay me for the 30 minutes of Big Lake i watched...just terrible.
Oh man. Do we get to choose who sleeps on our pillow case?
Chris! I run a comedy theater in Austin and produce a lot of events in New Orleans and Dallas. We definitely want to be a part of this but I have some questions! I'm christrew@gmail.com, let's chat!
Johnny - we can do that, but we'd have to break down location and possible dates before you commit.
At the $500 level will you do a live show in our small theater to which we can sell tickets, or is it a non-performance event?
THIS IS HAPPENING. As God as my witness. I need to think of what I want to write on those business cards!
Tim - absolutely not a problem.
You better send me photos of my photo defaced.
Can't wait, Shane!
Tim - thanks so much. Can't wait to meet you!
This is great! Lookin forward to seein everyone at DSI!
Chris,
Tell Jonathan that this is his Christmas present!
Maybe see you on the tour but definitely at the show tomorrow night. You guys rock!
Thanks Nate! We'll do our best.
Riley - sorry, man!
Man, where's an essay contest when you need it?
I love this. Make it happen.
Thanks Pat!
Love it. Love it so much.
Thanks Nick! I just hope we can pull it off.
This is such an awesome thing you're doing and I'm super excited for you guys. Should be a fantastic 12 days. That RV is gonna reek of balls. HAVE FUN!
Now that would be the best. Maybe you can sing at it!
If you can make it across the country, then surely I'll find a way to make it to LA for that show!
Thanks Joey! Hope to see you there! - Chris
