Chris Rock Stand Up Comedy

Chris started doing stand-up comedy in 1984 in New York City’s Catch a Rising Star. He then slowly rose up the ranks of the comedy circuit in addition to earning bit roles in I’m Gonna Git You Sucka film and the TV series Miami Vice. Eddie Murphy befriended and mentored the aspiring comic upon seeing him act like a nightclub. Eddie gave Chris his first film role in Beverly Hills Cop II.

In the fall of 1993, Rock appeared in six episodes of the predominantly African-American sketch show In Living Color as a special guest star. It was canceled a month after he arrived. He wrote and starred in the low-budget comedy CB4, which made $18 million against its budget of $6 million.

He starred in his first HBO comedy special in 1994 titled Big Ass Jokes as part of HBO Comedy Half-Hour. Rock’s second special, 1996’s Bring the Pain, made Rock one of the most acclaimed and commercially successful comedians in the industry. He won two Emmy Awards for the special and gained large critical acclaim.

His most popular controversial piece of the special was “Niggas vs. Black People”. Rock earned another Emmy nomination for his much-publicized role as a commentator for Comedy Central’s Politically Incorrect during the 1996 Presidential elections. He was also the voice for the “Lil Penny” puppet who was the alter ego to basketball star Penny Hardaway in a series of Nike shoe commercials from 1994–1998.

 Rock started off with supporting roles in films such as Dogma, Beverly Hills Ninja, Lethal Weapon 4, and Nurse Betty, he went on to star in films like The Longest Yard, Bad Company, and Down to Earth.

His 2010 film appearances include Death at a Funeral, Grown Ups, and 2 Days in New York. He has increasingly worked behind the camera, both as a writer and director. They include Head of State and I Think I Love My Wife which he both played the lead role.

Chris has done voice work in the Madagascar animated film franchise, voicing the eccentric zebra Marty. During the release of his first documentary, 2009’s Good Hair, Rock is working on a documentary about debt called Credit Is the Devil. He wrote, directed and starred in the critically acclaimed film Top Five in 2014. Some critics have drawn the comparison to Woody Allen’s Stardust Memories.
