John Crist: Jokes for Humans

Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center 1310 FM 1788, Midland, Texas

John Crist is one of today’s fast-rising stand-up comedians, with more than one billion video views, over five million fans on social media and sold-out shows from coast to coast making Pollstar’s Top 100 Global Tours list in 2019 with over 197,000 tickets sold. Widely known for viral videos like “Honest Football Coach,” “Every Parent at Disney,” “Brands that need to be CANCELLED” plus hundreds more. John Crist has performed all over the world and in 2021 began his multi-city national theater tour called “Fresh Cuts” selling out theaters all over the United States. John has been seen on ESPN, Sports Illustrated, CBS Sports, Barstool Sports, and Buzzfeed just to name a few. John also has a weekly podcast called “Net Positive”. When asked where he finds the inspiration to write jokes, Crist says, “I grew up in the deep south, my dad is a pastor, and I was the third of eight homeschooled children. My first job was at Chick-filA. Coming from a background like that, how do you NOT write jokes?!” And he’s on tour now.

The Panhandlers

Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center 1310 FM 1788, Midland, Texas

It’s easy to dismiss West Texas as just a vast, barren wasteland void of nuance or life.

Still, something draws them back time and again. For millennia, its inhabitants have etched out corners and dugouts to break from the wind and fight off the sun. And through it all, they attempt to capture the brazen beauty of the land and the spirit of its people in song and story. It ain’t for the faint of heart. It’s a tough, bold country. The Panhandlers are four native sons from the outskirts of Texas society, having spent much of their lives in the high desert and southern prairie.
