Commentator and comedian Chris Bliss explores the nexus between humor and truth-telling in a fresh and entertaining look at how irony, satire and ridicule impact the national conversation and change our perceptions of the powerful.
In the tradition of American satire stretching from Mark Twain to Jon Stewart, Bliss delivers smart comedy for the information age.
An innovative variety artist who appeared in concert with superstars like Eric Clapton and the late Michael Jackson, Bliss's popular "Juggling Finale" video swept through the Internet in 2006 and 2007, making it one of the world's first viral sensations, with more than 80 million downloads.
Bliss's latest project is MyBillOfRights.org, the Bill of Rights Monument Project which recently received approval to begin fundraising for a Bill of Rights Plaza project in Austin, Texas. The project will create a long overdue national destination to celebrate the Bill of Rights, the single most powerful legal assertion of individual rights and liberties ever written.
