Chip Chantry

If you hire Chip, your audience will experience a clean, professional stand up comedy show. His easy-going but fast-paced comedy is relatable, self-deprecating, and engaging. In some cases, Chip can also write material specifically tailored to your organization, for a more personalized experience. Oh, and it's funny. I promise.

In 2012, he released his first live comedy album, ACROSS FROM THE ADONIS. His second album, SWINGERS PARTY, was released in March 2019, where it spent time at #1 on the iTunes comedy charts and is currently in rotation on SiriusXM.

For over a decade, Chip has performed for dozens of corporate and non-profit events each year. From school fundraisers to events for Comcast and the American Board of Surgery, Chip's versatile style entertains a wide variety of crowds.

Chip has written and performed in a number of live and video sketches, including “Deck the Hall and Oates” which VH1 called “one of the best parodies of the year” in 2011. He also wrote and produced the monthly late night‐style talk shows FACE TIME w/ CHIP CHANTRY, and GOOD EVENING w/ CHIP CHANTRY at Helium Comedy Club, as well as the monthly comedy variety program, CHIP CHANTRY’S ONE‐MAN SHOW (w/ special guests!), at the Philly Improv Theater. He also hosted and co-produced LECTURE HALL, an educational comedy variety show, with a middle-school assembly format. Most recently, he has partnered with his brother Adam, a planetarium director, to produce The Funny Thing About the Sky, a comedic, multi-media astronomy presentation.

Depending on the venue, a quality sound system and lighting can create the optimal experience. If a comedian tells a joke in the woods, and no one hears it... is it funny?
