Chris Porter presented by Asheville Comedy Festival

The Asheville Comedy Festival proudly presents Chris Porter for a special one-night-only event at the Wortham Center for the Performing Arts.

Whether you know him from his hit comedy specials Ugly & Angry and A Man From Kansas, his breakout run on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, or his appearances on Comedy Central, Netflix, Showtime, and Spotify, Chris Porter has become one of stand-up comedy’s most respected and consistently hilarious touring comedians.

A Kansas City native with a razor-sharp wit and effortless storytelling style, Porter finds comedy in everything—from fast food and family life to unforgettable encounters with professional athletes, rock stars, and the everyday absurdities that make life so entertaining. His relatable observations, quick improvisation, and laugh-out-loud delivery have earned him a devoted following across the country.

As an Asheville Comedy Festival Special Event, this exclusive performance brings one of America’s premier stand-up comedians to Asheville for one unforgettable night.

Don’t miss your chance to see Chris Porter live on September 5. One night. One stage. Endless laughs.
