Comedian Chris Spencer

Known as "The Other Chris," stand-up comedian Chris Spencer has never had any trouble being a star in his own right. A natural talent, he seems to glide up to the mic, the epitome of smooth from the start. And no matter how salty or outrageous he becomes, his whole performance remains polished. Just watching him morph effortlessly into a succession of characters -- one minute a thuggish three-year-old spitting sunflower seeds, the next an old lady in the supermarket, then a guy trapped under a pile of rubble -- is a show in itself. Now, this star of feature films, Showtime specials, and TV appearances (including "Real Husbands of Hollywood" and "Being Mary Jane") comes to the Punchline Comedy Lounge in Southfield.
