Gettin Close with Chip Chantry

In the season finale of the Gettin Close podcast I sit down with Philly performer, Chip Chantry. We talk about the usual how-he-got-into-comedy stuff as well as what he does for a living, what you do when you have a year off, Steve Guttenberg, Face Time, The Wid, sketch videos, future plans, Bing Supernova, Wizard of Oz, Ghosts and much more. It’s the final episode of the year and I do believe it’s one of my favorites. Chip had me cracking up through out the talk.

See him as he hosts Secret Pants presents: “A Banner Year at the Ol’ Bender House” on 12/23 and see Bing Supernova at the Sideshow Presents: Know When to Leave on 12/28. And be sure to download his comedy album, “Across from the Adonis” from iTunes now.
