CHRIS MONTY Headlining The Comedy Cove @ Scotty's March 2nd & 3rd!

Chris began his Comedy Club resume at Governor's in Levittown Long Island in the late '90's. He later teamed up with fellow comedian Marc Lund to create Long Island's Funniest Comedy Team of Monty & Lund. It was in the team that Chris got his first break. Monty & Lund were asked to open for Gabe Kaplan (from TV's Welcome Back Kotter) at McGuire’s Comedy Club. The show was a smash. Eventually Chris decided he wanted to go back solo as a comedian. He later was asked to open for Jimmy "JJ" Walker (from TV's "Good Times") at the same club. Now he performs regularly all over the country including such rooms as The Borgata Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City. He also has opened for such acts as Bobby Slayton, Jim David, Adam Ferrera, and Jim Norton.

Chris has also expanded his career into radio and television. For a while he hosted his own radio show on Long Island's WGBB with his former comedy team partner Marc Lund. Later he co-hosted "On A Roll" with fellow comedian John Larochia. But his best gig was writing jokes for "The Joan Rivers Show" on WWOR. "Joan is a very down to earth person, who makes me laugh" Chris said when he was asked of his time spent on her show. He also was a guest on WWOR on the legendary "Joey Reynolds Show". Chris' television credits include numerous commercials with such companies as P.C. Richard & Son and Ford. He also has appeared locally on Long Island for P.G. Grippo & Son and White Post Farms. He is a very talented comedian whose fast rise in Comedy is only the start. You will be seeing his face all over very soon, so try to catch is act this weekend at The Comedy Cove @ Scotty's!

Chris's show is also featuring the very funny Nore' Davis  &  Rob Epple
