From the land of sun kissed beer guts, historic Stillwater, Minnesota, One beast set forth to relieve himself of the burden of being a man, by becoming...Comedian. Chris Maddock's succinct observations, comedic integrity, and gut busting moustache appreciation has taken him from the grand mining towns of the iron range to the back alley hovels of New York City and back again, winning 2008's Laughing Liberally Contest and earning a spot opening for Jim David at the Ordway Theater in St. Paul. What a total beast.
