Hailing from Chicago, Chris Redd is a multifaceted talent whose work spans stand-up comedy, film, television and music.

Redd’s first one-hour special, “Why Am I Like This?” is streaming on HBO Max, and the album is available on Spotify, Apple Music and all other major audio streaming services. The material was mined from his personal journey of self-discovery, pulling from his experiences starting therapy amid the height of the pandemic and taking a look at his life with a newfound perspective.

Redd hosts Netflix’s automotive makeover series “Resurrected Rides.” The show is produced by Rick Hurvitz, who co-created MTV’s cult series “Pimp My Ride.” Last year, he appeared in Amazon Prime Video and MGM Studios’ hit holiday feature “Candy Cane Lane,” starring opposite Eddie Murphy and Tracee Ellis Ross. He will next star in Amazon MGM Studios‘ highly anticipated rom-com, “Merv” alongside Zooey Deschanel and Charlie Cox from director Jessica Swale. Additionally, Redd lends his vocal talents to Ramy Youssef’s Amazon animated series “#1 Happy Family USA”, and he recurs on Starz’ “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” as ‘Early Tyler.’ He co-created and voices a lead role in the upcoming scripted podcast “Head Case” from Broadway Video and Audible, out August 7th.

Redd is the co-creator, writer, and star of Peacock’s scripted comedy series, “Bust Down”, which premiered in March 2022. He was a repertory player on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” for 5 seasons.

In addition to acting and writing, Redd is a rapper and stand-up comedian who performs across the country and has toured the United States and Europe with The Second City Touring Company.
