Christy Eidson

Christy has performed in such places as the Improv, the Comedy Store, and the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, HA's in New York City, Zanies in Nashville, TN, the Comedy Catch in Chattanooga, TN, the Punchline and the Funny Farm in Atlanta, GA, and many more. She showcased at last year's Las Vegas Comedy Festival and CA's Funniest Female Contest. She is also involved in the legendary Groundlings program. If that weren’t enough, she also produces, writes, and performs in the sketch comedy troupe, the Short Bus Riders, as well as a cable access show called “It’s the Christy Show!” on Time Warner channel 25 in Van Nuys and performing in theatres with the Southern Fried Divas. Her motto is: what I lack in ability, I make up with in stage presence. Her true dream is to become a rock star one day, but as of yet, she hasn't learned to play any instruments. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------Before moving to Los Angeles, Christy co-founded the sketch comedy troupe, "The Short Bus Riders" in 2004, the only sketch comedy troupe in Nashville. She was a writer, performer, booker, and marketing guru for the group. They performed all over Nashville and the surrounding areas.------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------Christy is a Nashville, Tennessee native. She has always wanted to entertain, even if it was only entertaining herself. As a child, she was in love with Saturday Night Live, and would sneak out of bed to stay up and watch the show. In school, teachers would make her stand up in class and do her impressions or read humorous stories she had written. In college, Christy studied Broadcasting and double-minored in Theatre and English. In her “book-learnin” years, she and her friends began attending the Rocky Horror Picture Show each weekend just outside of Nashville, and soon began playing the Susan Sarandon role of Janet Weiss, which she continued for about a year. Performing in your underwear will definitely diminish any fears or inhibitions one may have. No one can say that Christy doesn’t enjoy being the center of attention. She may be short in stature, but she is bigger than life. You can’t spend ten minutes with her without cracking a smile. “It’s either laugh or cry, and I don’t like to cry…it makes my eyes puffy.”
