   chris fairbanks's Comedian Bio
BioOFFICIAL BIO: Chris Fairbanks, a young comic who left the scenic comfort of Big Sky Country in Montana eight years ago to join the Texas comedy circle, is getting a lot of attention. In the past few years, Chris took first place in 2003’s Funniest Person in Austin contest, attended Montreal’s Just for Laughs festival in their "New Faces" showcase, starred as "Randy" on the MTV reality series "The 70’s House", as well as in other, un-aired MTV pilots, received 1st runner-up in Comedy Central’s Laugh Riots contest, and has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and Comedy Central’s Premium Blend. He currently is an action sports correspondent for the Fuel TV network. Chris Fairbanks now resides in Los Angeles and makes his living as a club touring stand-up comic/actor and illustrator. So, basically he has a 50/50 career split between being a stand up comic and commercial artist which sometimes makes him feel tired. Chris Fairbanks sleeps a lot.

Great job, sir.

I was going to post a video of you on your own page to be redundant and pointless, but apparently Kordelski beat me to it.

Thank God you're the only person I know in a reality show because they're painful to watch, but RBB was actually entertaining and you were funny as always. Congrats on making it to the next episode.
Of course, you are cut off from the outside world and won't be reading this until you win the $50,000!
