Ep. 215: Chris Crofton (Comedian/Musician - Nashville Famous Documentary) "Comedian, musician, and self-described “Alcohol Stuntman” Chris Crofton is a one-of-a-kind underground performer. From playing coffee shops in 1990s New York City to selling out indie clubs in Nashville, Tennessee, Chris has spent decades dragging his singular mix of music, comedy, and chaos across America through a career defined by near hits, self-sabotage, and self-designed misses.Now sober and newly transplanted to Los Angeles, Chris looks back on the alcoholism, local fame, and stubborn mythology that shaped both his life and career. As he attempts to reinvent himself in a new city at middle age, the question remains: is Chris doomed to repeat the same mistakes, or can he finally get out of his own way?"Directed by Seth Pomeroy Seth Pomeroy is a Nashville based filmmaker and comedy writer. He currently runs a monthly standup showcase at Anaconda Vintage and puts on pop-up comedy shows at Soft Junk.About Chris CroftonChris Crofton started performing comedy after he graduated from college in 1991.
