Chris Ketler

Chris Ketler aka The Bitter Dude has been bitter since the day he was born. He hails from NE Ohio but grew up in Central FL. Growing up he had a love of Rock-n-Roll and wanted to be on the stage. Sadly, he had no musical talent, so he just lived a Rock-n-Roll lifestyle getting him into a lot of trouble. After 25 years of sun and surf Chris returned to his roots in rural NE Ohio. It would take another 25 years before he discovered he should be on stage….as a comic! That was over 15 years ago. Today, he’s still a comedian and not so bitter as now owns and operates Krackpots Comedy Club, Massillon. People ask him frequently why would you want to own a comedy club? I answer honestly because I had a lifelong dream of being in debt the remainder of my life. His personal philosophy is to live a life worth commenting on, or at least be able to see the humor in it. So, after raising 2 sons, a failed marriage, several lost jobs, being the oldest of 9 siblings and a lifetime of bitterness Chris was ready to hit the stage. Chris is a strong feature comedian who knows how to warm a crowd up for a headliner yet not overshadow a headliner. He has worked extensively throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kentucky, New York, Florida, Indiana, and Illinois. A few defining moments for him was performing at The Laugh Factory, Zanies, Riddles, The Funny Farm, The Improv, The Broadway Comedy Club, The Greenwich Village Comedy Club, The Comedy Bar, & many other notable clubs. He has worked with some of the best and some not so good comedians throughout his career and has been a finalist numerous times in The Funny Stop Comedy Contest in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Chris’s production group, Funny Noizes Productions, is one of N.E. Ohio’s largest independent producers. FNP was nominated as “Best Production Group” in 2018 & 2019’s Cleveland Comedy Awards. Chris can be heard on I Heart Radio every week as a Co Host on The Epic Radio Show. Chris’s comedic style is reminiscent of George Carlin and Steve Martin. He entices his audiences to pack their bags as he throws them in the back of his van, willing or not they’re along for the ride as he takes them on a journey through his life. His material reverberates with audience members, relates to common themes of today, but he reacts in a manner that no sane person would but without crossing the comedy blue line. Audiences seem to relate to his unique perspective and tenacious sense of humor. To Chris, life is always bittersweet.
