The Childhood Struggles of Christopher Titus
Christopher Todd Titus was born on the 1st of October 1964 in Newark, California. He hails from a family of five, composed of his father Kenneth Williams Titus, his mother Juanita Clarice Holmes, as well as two siblings named Shannon and Dave.
Titus grew up in Newark and endured a less-than-ideal childhood. His father was a womanizing and abusive alcoholic who went through several divorces. His mom, on her part, was a drug-addicted schizophrenic. It was expected that his parents’ marriage ended in a divorce.
With that, Titus spent the formative years been passed around his mom, dad, and grandparents; before long, he dabbled into alcohol and drugs. The young boy persisted at these two vices until the fateful day he got intoxicated and fell into a bonfire at a beach party. Luckily for him, some friends came to his rescue and after hospitalization, he vowed to turn his life around. Titus subsequently cleaned-up his act and began doing stand-up comedy at the age of 19.
Breakthrough and Other Career Endeavours
Titus’ material mostly consisted of jokes about his tragic childhood and with that, he accumulated a decent following. He later became a national sensation after debuting his first comedy special, Norman Rockwell is Bleeding, at Hudson Theatre, L.A., in the late 90s.
The show which unflinchingly explored his childhood filled with spousal abuse, mental illness, and alcoholism, was well received by fans. It also birthed a widely-successful eponymous Fox sitcom which ran from 2000 to 2002, and this firmly entrenched him in the limelight.
Since gaining his breakthrough in the early 2000s, Christopher Titus has remained relevant in the comic industry. He has released at least eight comedy specials/albums including The Fifth Annual End of the World Tour (2007), Love is Evol (2009), Neverlution (2010), Voice in My Head (2013), Angry Pursuit of Happiness (2015), Born with a Defect (2017), Armageddon (2018), and Stories I Shouldn’t Tell (2019).
