Acerca de mí:
I am a struggling stand-up comedian. I am also a musician (voice, guitar, and percussion). I have been a model, and I have done a little acting. Until the day I become rich and famous as a result of my amazing talents, I pay the bills as a Graphic Artist. I enjoy comedy, music, physical activity, reading, Karate (I'm a Purple Belt), and wasting my precious time on the internet.Quién me gustaría conocer:
Wow, you mean like a wish list? I have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know many wonderful comedians. I love meeting anyone working in the comedy field, and that includes stand-up comedians, sketch comedians, writers, creative people, or anyone who enjoys the funny side of life.As for non-comedian people, I would love to meet and spend time talking to any of the guys from Oingo Boingo. Yes, I’m still obsessed. Their music has meant more to me than any other band throughout my life. If I could have a voice like Danny’s, I’d rule the world.

As a child I appeared on the Cowboy John show on Channel 4 in Beaumont, TX - 'course so did every kid in Beaumont, Port Arthur and Groves at one time or another.
As a teen, I stood up and asked a question at a taping for a day-time talk show in Pittsburgh, PA. What was interesting is that I was currently incarcerated at a state mental institution and we were on a field trip. My keepers were horrified that I was picked to ask a question. I surprised them and kept it clean.
As an adult I have been interviewed and performed in several short documentaries/TV Specials on Depression and Mental Illness. I have also appeared in several local commercials in Houston, TX.

myspace.com/kris_knightBiografía
As a former rock singer and musician, Kris has lived a rich life and traveled the world, and enjoys telling tales of her wild ride through life. Kris’ mature, sometimes dark blue humor is solid fun and entertainment for open-minded adults of all ages.
Kris was invited to participate in the Annual Houston Comedy Festival, and is a past contestant in Houston’s Funniest Person Competition. She performed at The Houston Comedy Benefit for Toys for Tots, featuring local comedians and special guest Sean Rouse.
Kris has also had the pleasure of doing a kid and adult clown act that featured her inability to create decent balloon animals or perform even the simplest of magic tricks as "Krisso The Klown".
Kris was the creator and host of "Comedians of MySpace" R.I.P. - Which was the largest "industry only" private group on MySpace for Comedians and people working in the Comedy Industry. The group was erased by MySpace in their continuing desperate attempt to "keep up" with Facebook.

Hmm, let me think... COMEDY and COMEDIANS (no shit), music and musicians, good food, good movies, good books, Karate, diggin' in my garden (and no, that is not a euphemism for masturbation), and masturbation. Other than that, I think I answered most of my interests in the "about me" and "who I'd like to meet" areas...Música
I enjoy damn near everything except hard core country and polka, but if you get me a couple of drinks even polka can be tolerated in small doses.
Some faves are:
New Stuff: Danny Elfman, Green Day, Garbage, Chris Isaak, Offspring, Lost Prophets, Tenacious D, Collective Soul, Coldplay, Lifehouse, Third Eye Blind, Nickelback, Hoobastank.
, Madness, Devo, AC/DC, Def Leopard, Aerosmith, Billy Idol, Bruce Wooley, Howard Jones, Thomas Dolby, Crowded House/Split Endz, The Tubes, Missing Persons, ABC, Leonard Cohen, Richard Thompson, k.d. lang, Patsy Cline, Keely Smith & Louie Prima.

I'm not sure I have any actual heros, but I do think highly of a few people. I admire those who keep their goals in sight and continue doing what they love no matter what the odds are -- add to this list most stand-up comedians. No, these people are not always standards of clean living or necessarily pure of heart, nor are their actions/words world changing, but they are tenacious and more or less true to their art and each other. I am amazed at how much they tend to help each other in an often cut-throat industry.
