Coming off his fifth special "Voice In My Head," where Titus detailed his biggest screw-ups, including his hilarious early days in entertainment aka his first job as Darth Vader for children's birthday parties, Titus now brings to live audiences his newest one-man comedy special, "The Angry Pursuit of Happiness". "The Angry Pursuit of Happiness" is being hailed by critics as his best performance to date. The show takes audiences on the wild ride of life, from Titus solution to the world's problems, fixing everything in a way viewers won't believe, to his insight on "Here's how life goes" to his 'me-logy,' where Titus gives his own eulogy. Titus takes his special to new comedic places he hasn't gone in prior specials. At an hour and 45 minutes, the special is double what a normal special brings, as Titus says "We need comedy to get rid of our desire to kill", so save a life and laugh your ass off with "The Angry Pursuit of Happiness". Now available for digital download at www.christophertitus.com for $9.00 or DVD $20.00. Christopher Titus never lies.

"The truth can be painful, but the truth is really funny," says Titus. Employing what he's labeled "hard funny" he has released five ninety-minute albums. He has four one-hour comedy specials currently running on Comedy Central, and his fifth special, "Voice In My Head" just aired in October of 2013. After years of experimentation with dark and personal storytelling, he debuted his first one-man show "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding" at the Hudson Theater in Los Angeles in 2004. It was from this performance that the dark comedy, "Titus," was born on Fox. TV's "Titus" earned him a Writer's Guild nomination as well as an Emmy nomination, and Newsday called him "TV's most original voice since Seinfeld. "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding" (released on CD in 2008) paved the way for Titus' future comedy albums/specials "The Fifth Annual End of the World Tour" (2007), "Love is Evol" (2009), "Neverlution" (2011) and "The Voice in my Head" (2013).

Inspired by such greats as Woody Allen, Steve Martin, and Bill Cosby, who wrote, directed, produced and performed, Titus has sold ideas to NBC, ABC, FOX and Comedy Central. In 2013, Titus formed his own production company, Combustion World Industries, and produced his own comedy special "Voice In My Head." His first film production will be "Special Unit," which is about four disabled detectives. Titus describes it as "The Shield with handicapped people" and is planning for film production in 2015. Fans can catch Titus weekly on his "never unbiased, always unbalanced" podcast "The Titus Podcast" and on The History Channel weekly as the host of the new game show "Pawnography" with the cast of "Pawn Stars".

Christopher Titus is raw, real and most of all, funny. His honesty about his own life gives a voice to the human experience of every person that watches his specials.
