Welcome to my website! I'm excited to have it back up and running again. Seems like I have been bombarded with technical difficulties and I am happy that we're back live! I plan on doing quite a few updates and such as we go, so check back often to see what's going on with the site and with me! Also, if you got here by going to www.fuckmapquest.com , I'm glad you made it! It could've been tricky! Upcoming Tour Information Where in the world is Kris Shaw you ask??? This is where you can find out! My tour of Iraq and Kuwait was in June. I'm really proud to say that I have done this tour. They treated us so well over there and the soldiers and civilian workers were sincerely grateful for us coming to them. I always have a great time seeing the world and knowing that I've somehow maybe helped a soldier smile and forget his troubles for a while, but this time was different. I have a feeling inside that I've never had before. I've seen things that not many people can say they've seen. No matter how you feel about the war, you have to respect our service men and women for serving our country. I feel like I somehow do my part in showing my appreciation by performing for them. It is an honor. This summer has included a lot of travel and excitement so far. In addition to my overseas tour, I've worked at the Funny Bone in Cincinnati, The Kansas City Improv, River Center Comedy Club in San Antonio, The Comic Strip in El Paso, and the Comedy Zones in Tallahassee and Jacksonville. In Cincinnati, I worked with the comedy legend Paul Mooney which was an awesome experience. He met every expectation I had of him. A few weeks back I started my I-10 SPF 40 Tour '08 and it's been a blast! I have worked with some awesome comics and been able to spend some time with my family who came along with me. We've been to Disney, the beach, lake resorts, the River Walk. We've seen so many things and been having such a great time. I must say I've done a pretty good job with my Gangsta Ass Tan!!! Check out some of my pictures I've been adding of my tour on my myspace page. I have some fun weeks coming up, so keep checking back for regular updates of where I've been and where I'll be going. Check my schedule often, because there are sometimes last minute changes. I update it as these occur and try to keep you all informed of where I'm gonna be. If you look on there and don't see me coming to a venue near you, call them up and request me! Let them know you think I'm funny and you'd come out to see me. It helps. It really does! Marketing Kris Shaw I am doing a lot this year to try to get my name and my show out there to as many people as I can. I am on a mission to build my following and become a household name in all regions of the country, even internationally. I've toured in almost 40 states, 6 countries. Those numbers will increase here in the next few months. I have built a solid fanbase in Canada, which is one of my favorite places to perform. I've been all over up there and love it all the same! I use MySpace to market my show in each area that I'm scheduled to perform and I end up with friends all over who end up bringing out people to my shows. I love meeting my fans and staying in touch with them afterwards. You too can be my friend, if you're not already! Check out my MySpace page when you get a chance! Aside from doing all of my MySpace marketing, I've added some of my clips recently to YouTube, check them out when you get a chance. I plan on adding a few more here in the next couple of months when I finally get around to going through many hours of tapes! I'm being played on XM Radio now, so listen up and if you actually hear me, drop me a line! I haven't heard myself yet and would love to know when I've been played. I think they try to honor requests, so if you have the time and want to request me, that'd be super cool. You can either call their request line at 1-866-XMLaugh or go to their website at www.xmfan.com and type "Kris Shaw" in the search and then request my bits! I've been doing some interviews and such with the local media in cities where I perform. Some of them are listed in my News section. Here at home, I have been getting a litte more exposure which is always nice. Keep watching here because I have some other stuff coming up that I'll be letting you guys know about.... |
