Meet Chris Ketler of Beautiful historic downtown Massillon

Today we’d like to introduce you to Chris Ketler.

Hi Chris, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was born a poor …….

Oh is that too far back?

Several years ago I took the stage and I never looked back. Once I tried stand up comedy I instantly knew this was where my people were. Shortly after that I began to produce my own performances throughout NE Ohii bringing comedians from around the country to NE Ohio. There weren’t many people doing what I was doing back then and even today most comedy shows that are not at a club are nothing more than a few friends who hang out and think they’re funny and always work together doing bar shows. Once youve seen them, you seen all they have but nothing close to what Stark County’s ONLY Award-winning professional comedy club brings to NE Ohio.
From the start I saw the opportunity to create a better, more professional experience in entertainment. I wanted to create an experience and thats been my driving force… a fun time!

Today, I own Krackpots Comedy Club, Massillon The Fort Wayne Comedy in Indiana, Funny Noizes Productions, LLC (NE Ohio’s Largest comedy production company) and Funny Noizes Management.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Obstacles, Ive had my fair share however all roads will have its rough spots and if thats what you remember well shame on you because you should be relishing in your wins and accomplishments youve achieved.

Learn from those rough roads but never focus on them.
Besides Id rather reminisce about the fun times.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I specialize in the most fun you can legally have without peeing your pants.

Ive gotten to the pint in my life where I can drink good beer and tell jokes to pay my bills.

Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
Don’t quit!
Believe in yourself!
Surround yourself with the right people, they may not be who you want to be with you but they’re who you need to be with you that counts the most.
and enjoy life!
