Funny Bone Comedy Club & Restaurant

A FAVORITE WITH AUDIENCES AND INDUSTRY INSIDERS ALIKE. Chris Distefano is one of today's biggest &amp; most beloved names in comedy. Chris first burst onto the scene as a standout on MTV’s Talking Heads franchise Guy Code/Girl Code, with Popsugar naming him the ”Funniest Guy on MTV”. He became the first stand-up comedian to sell out both the world-famous Radio City Music Hall and the Theater at Madison Square Garden on consecutive nights in 2023. His fearless yet endearing stage presence and natural ability to connect with audiences around the world have made him a household name, not just in comedy but in all of entertainment. Chris quickly rose to success after being named the funniest person on MTV for his show-stopping performances on the Guy Code/Girl Code series. From there, he went on to star in IFC’s Benders, co-host the Netflix game show Ultimate Beastmaster, and star in his own CBS sitcom. Chris guest hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live! on July 14 and 15, 2025, marking his first time hosting the late-night show. In 2022, Chris was selected by Jimmy Kimmel to host Jimmy’s latest TV venture, Super Maximum Retro Show, for ViceTV. Fresh off appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2019, Chris released his first full-length special, Size 38 Waist, on Comedy Central. The special perfectly captured his Brooklyn-born edge and nice-guy charm. His first special, Size 38 Waist (2019), is currently on YouTube.  His second special, Speshy Weshy, premiered on Netflix in May 2022 to critical acclaim. His much-anticipated third special, It’s Just Unfortunate, released in February 2025 as the fourth installment of Hulu’s stand-up Hularious series. When Chris isn’t on stage delivering his gut-busting jokes, you can catch him in his element recording his wildly popular podcast History Hyenas with Yannis Pappas on YouTube and Patreon. Previous podcasts are: Chrissy Chaos, Christories, Hey Babe! with Impractical Jokers’ Sal Vulcano, and Teach Me Daddy with Matteo Lane. These shows have massive followings on Patreon and are among the most streamed comedy podcasts. Also, watch his series Sunday Night Stand Up on YouTube. A big sports fan, Chris has hosted episodes of shows like MLB’s Off The Bat and MSG’s The Bracket. He’s also had the honor of throwing the first pitch for several Major League Baseball teams: the Chicago White Sox in 2024, the Chicago Cubs in 2022, and the New York Mets in 2021. When he’s not podcasting or on TV, Chris continues to travel the world on his sold-out comedy tours, entertaining thousands by poking fun at the world – and himself – with his uniquely warm energy.

MUSIC OF THE 60S, 70S, AND 80S
NIGHTSHIFT
Three decades of the greatest hits ever made. One unforgettable afternoon.
Strap in. Nightshift is one of Connecticut's most in-demand live bands, and for good reason. This tight five-piece brings the music of three iconic decades roaring back to life with the kind of energy and craft that keeps audiences singing from the first song to the last.
The setlist runs deep through the legends who defined the 60s, 70s, and 80s:
Elton John · Creedence Clearwater Revival · The Doors · Bruce Springsteen · Journey · and more
These are the songs that shaped eras, inspired generations, and still fill a room the moment the first chord lands. Nightshift plays them the way they deserve to be played: live, loud, and packed with joy.
This is a classic rock and pop hits show built for fans who know every word and newcomers ready to fall in love.
Three decades of music, jam-packed into one afternoon, you will not forget.
