Christian Reilly entered the world of comedy as Otis Lee Crenshaw’s [Rich Hall] guitar-wielding sidekick – a bizarre six-year odyssey that would take him to unlikely venues such as the Sydney Opera House, appearing on NBC’s Late Night With Conan O’Brien and at HBO’s Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado, backing The Smothers Brothers and Michael Richards. Now headlining all the major comedy venues, his offbeat, energetic and utterly unique style blends stand-up with dynamic guitar/vocal abilities and effortless charm.
