Hello, My Name is:
Chad  Riden 

About Me
CHAD RIDEN has been described as "a comedian, a family man, a computer dork and a complete jackass." As early as the age of 8, Chad would sneak out of bed to watch David Letterman's show, thinking "THAT'S what I want to do." He began writing jokes and mailing them to Letterman every day. Eventually, Riden started hearing back from the show, randomly receiving merchandise and tickets to tapings. When Chad applied to colleges, he asked Mr. Letterman to write him a letter of recommendation. Dave wrote, "Let him in. Dave Letterman." Chad chose to major in Broadcasting, as "Jackassery" was not an option. Amazingly, Chad graduated and began working in local radio and television.. but was fired from every job for being a smart-ass. Eventually, he began to realize that he needed to find work where this kind of behavior was appreciated and decided to embrace poverty and pursue comedy. He found both in Nashville, where after doing open mics for only a few months, Riden had regular bookings at Zanies Comedy Showplace. Within a few years, Chad could be found performing everywhere from a tent in a Wal-Mart parking lot to the historic Ryman Auditorium. The Nashville Scene recently wrote, "His aggressive, angry-young-man stance of a few years ago has been leavened somewhat, since Riden more recently entered the world of marriage and fatherhood. His observations on the domestic sphere teeter amiably on the edge, but when he wants to, Riden can still zing pop culture, the media and American life in general with incisive wit." When he goes on stage, Chad takes the crowd's energy and simmers it, adding a variety of herbs, sauces and slander.. bringing it to a boil and scorching everybody in the house with his blistering hot funny.
