Hi all…it’s Chris Bragg, new contributer to this fantastic blog.
Who’s me life story short version? Okay.
I grew up on a farm in East Central Illinois. I went to a tiny school. I went to the U of I in Champaign and got a nearly worthless degree in Music Composition. I was in a crappy rock band that never played anywhere. I worked at GKC Theaters for 8 years, and also WDWS radio for 8 years. (Some of those years cross over, I’m not 50 yet.) A friend of mine died when he was 25, so I thought I should do more stuff I like to do, so I started taking classes at Second City WHILE FOOLISHLY STILL LIVING IN CHAMPAIGN! I graduated the Second City Training Center’s Beginning, Acting, Writing, and Conservatory programs all while driving back and forth. I helped start sketch group Grandma June’s Sewing Circle. I moved to Chicago with little-to-no-job. I got a job. I took iO improv program. I got put on Harold team Hunter Family Crest. I got fired from that job and was unemployed/temping for the next 20 months. Hunter Family Crest got cut. Grandma June’s stopped doing shows. Low spot.
Now, life all new, feeling good. Yes, I am broke. But…I helped start sketch group Adults and absolutely love doing that. I am on excellent Playground team Sam Hill. I am on crazy awesome Gypsy F**k Fight. Recently was in the soon-to-be-released full length film Welcome to Gentle Waters. Hired full-time at Standard Parking doing AP stuff, not bad.
