In an era where humour is constantly tested by the fragility of political correctness, Chrissie Mayr isn’t just pushing boundaries—she’s redefining them. A stand-up comedian, political satirist, and bold podcast host, Mayr’s meteoric rise in the world of comedy is fuelled by sharp wit, unapologetic honesty, and an ability to find humour in the most chaotic corners of life—including the unpredictable journey of new motherhood.
With razor-sharp celebrity impressions and a fearless take on pop culture, Chrissie’s brand of comedy slices through societal noise like a hot mic through butter. Her debut comedy album, Live from January 6th, didn’t just make waves—it made history, topping iTunes and Amazon charts for months and still holding a spot in iTunes’ Top 200 nearly two years on.
But Chrissie’s comedy isn’t just funny—it’s resilient. In one show that made headlines, a confrontation with a heckler ended in her being pepper-sprayed while 8 months pregnant. In another now-viral clip, she stood her ground mid-set against an aggressive heckler—moments that revealed not just her comedic talent, but a kind of fearless strength that resonates deeply with fans.
Offstage, Mayr’s influence is just as potent. Her podcast has become a platform for unfiltered conversation, welcoming a wide spectrum of guests—from comedians and public figures to controversial thinkers and media personalities. With names like Ann Coulter, Roger Stone, Sebastian Gorka, Jim Norton, and Doug Stanhope joining her for candid chats, Chrissie has cultivated a fiercely loyal following who tune in for laughs, hot takes, and everything in between.
A familiar face across major platforms, Chrissie’s comedic footprint extends to FOX’s Laughs, Friday Night Tights, The Wendy Williams Show, REELZ Network, and Gotham Comedy Live. Her fearless, firebrand style has also made her a go-to guest on NewsMax, One America News (OAN), Gutfeld!, The Megyn Kelly Show, InfoWars, TimCastIRL, and more.
At a time when many comedians feel like they’re walking on eggshells, Chrissie Mayr is tap dancing through the minefield—with a mic in hand and punchlines that land like truth bombs.
Whether you’re a comedy fan, a pop culture junkie, or someone who just appreciates straight talk served with a side of sass, Chrissie Mayr is a name you won’t forget—and a voice that’s impossible to ignore.
1. Your comedy fearlessly tackles pop culture, politics, and the chaos of everyday life, especially motherhood. How do you balance being bold and unapologetic while navigating today’s often sensitive cultural climate?
I don’t try to navigate the sensitive cultural climate as it is incompatible with comedy. A comedian’s job is to mock precisely this kind of climate. If you never apologize for your jokes, you never have to deal with putting out statements and retractions like you see many woke comedians and celebrities do. Never apologize for jokes!
2. Your debut album, Live from January 6th, had incredible staying power, topping charts for months. What inspired the material for this album, and why do you think it resonated so strongly with audiences?
Being at the Capitol on J6, I experienced firsthand the lies and narrative the legacy media created from day one. The FBI even called my house over a video I posted on Facebook, wanting to use it to prosecute people. I was ostracized from the NYC comedy community. And I was one of the lucky ones—that was all that happened to me! The material was inspired by what brought me to DC that day in the first place, and I think, as an average American, it resonated with many people who were angry and helpless after the stolen election in 2020.
3. Comedy is no stranger to hecklers, but getting pepper-sprayed after a set—while 8 months pregnant—takes things to another level. How did that experience shape your perspective on performing, and did it influence your material moving forward?
It taught me that it doesn’t matter how big or small your following is—if you’re ruffling feathers online, you need to have security. Having security does not make you “high maintenance”; it’s as essential as a microphone.
4. Your podcast has welcomed an incredible lineup of guests, from comedians to controversial public figures. Who’s been your most surprising or challenging guest so far, and what do you look for in a great interview?
One of the most surprising moments was when I had comedian Doug Stanhope on, and he confessed he did my podcast out of spite. What I look for in a great interview is someone open, isn’t afraid to go off-topic, and isn’t watching the clock.
5. You’ve performed across mainstream platforms like Gotham Comedy Live and The Wendy Williams Show, but you’ve also built a strong independent presence through podcasting and online content. How has that creative freedom impacted your career?
Podcasting has allowed me to connect directly with my audience and stay in touch with them, and it has complemented my live stand-up shows. Someone usually comes up to me after a show and introduces themselves by their screen name, and I love that!
6. With comedy becoming such a political minefield, do you think comedians have a responsibility to push boundaries—or is the real goal simply to make people laugh?
It would be nice, but not every performer is a boundary pusher—and that’s okay! Do what comes naturally.
7. Your celebrity impressions are razor-sharp. Which impression is your personal favourite to perform, and are there any new ones you’re working on?
Grace Randolph is my favorite— I just adore her; she’s very quirky. Drew Barrymore was fun too!
8. Looking ahead, what’s next for Chrissie Mayr? Any upcoming projects, specials, or tours we should be excited about?
I just announced some tour dates! So hopefully, I’ll see you in a comedy club near you.
