“Cheese Fries & Chili Dips” – A One-Man Show

Tee up for the hilarious and heartfelt story of a pro-golfer’s bipolar journey to wellness.

Written and performed by: Chris Fuller
Directed by: Mark S. Graham

“What happens when a clever young pro golfer walks into a comedy club? If the fugitive from the pro golf tour is Chris Fuller, look for laughter and tears – because he’s funny – genuinely funny – and he’s been plagued by Bi-polar mood swings for years. Engagingly honest, Chris Fuller delves deep into his garage full of hopes, dreams, disappointments and memories, compassionately displaying the inventive, often self-deprecating timing some comics are naturally blessed with. Directed by Mark S. Graham“Cheese Fries & Chili Dips” is enormously touching and a rollicking good time.”

–Susan Granger, member of broadcast and film critics association

Chris’s show sparked the International Mental Health Foundation IMHF, using the power of the performing arts to break mental health stigma.  Through therapy, support and proactive care, the foundation empowers individuals to overcome the challenges and lead fulfilling lives.  Join us in changing the conversation around mental health.  Turn Stigma into Strength!
