Randall Jay Chestnut is an American comedian, writer, and actor. He is noted for his wide-ranging subject matter, physicality, and sarcasm. Among other topics, he often focuses on American politics. Once, when asked what he'd do if he were mayor of Madison, Wisconsin, he replied, I'd do photo ops with Marilyn Manson and underprivileged children while my contributors continued to dump toxic waste in the rivers of Third World nations, then go home and do lines off the bare back of my 19-year-old Malaysian concubine. You know, like a real politician.〔Throughout his career, his material has also focused on his support of LGBT rights and his criticism of religion. == Early life and career == Randy Chestnut was born in Dallas, Texas in 1971. His early years were spent moving from state to state, living in Texas, Massachusetts, Maine, Florida, and Wisconsin. After graduating from high school in Baraboo, Wisconsin in 1989, he spent his late teens and early twenties moving from job to job before trying his hand at comedy. Beginning his career in Madison, Wisconsin at the Funny Business Comedy Club – later called (The Comedy Club On State ) – Chestnut spent nearly two years as an amateur, honing his stagecraft and developing his material. When asked, Chestnut claims his comedy is imported at great expense from a left-handed cobbler in Sussex, England, who answers to the name "King Cat Crocodile, Hector The Fuel Injector."In reality, he writes his own, although his early material was co-written with a fellow comedian. The two ceased writing together once it became clear their respective styles were growing apart and becoming more and more distinct. By 1999, he had grown as a performer, and won his first and only comedy competition. Although he was voted Funniest Person in Madison (Wisconsin) in 1999, he found the experience distasteful, and avoids competitions to this day. Also in 1999, Chestnut was invited to perform in the first of two ''Comics Come Home'' special events sponsored by Charter Communications and Comedy Central, the proceeds of which were to benefit the (Chris Farley Foundation ). The second invitation came in 2000.〔 〕 Other performers included Bob Saget, Jim Breuer, Victoria Jackson, Tom Arnold, Kevin Farley, John P. Farley, Tim Kazurinsky, and (Sue Murphy ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Randy Chestnut」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
