• Christian Champagne - Satirist, Poet, Performer

  "If scholars in a hundred years want to study the foibles of New Orleans, they will turn to Chris Champagne, but then again scholars usually ain't that smart." - Ronnie Virgets
  (Award winning writer)

  "A chronicler of our city and our times ... Chris Champagne is the boiled crab of comedy." - Chris Rose, the stuffed crab of comedy
  (Columnist - Times Picayune)

  "What Dylan Thomas did for Welsh, Christian Champagne does for "YAT". - James Nolan
  (Writer)

  "Chris Champagne is a comic genius" - Jodi Borrello
  (New Orleans standup comic)

  "Comic, Poet, Provocateur" - David Cuthbert
  (Times-Picayune)

  "He's blessedly off the beaten path, thrashing around in the landscapes of modern love and mere survival, New Orleans style, with long ruminative poems that have a reach, poignancy, and comic sensibility reminiscent of the actors of silent film. Among the other things these poems are, they are true and funny, as if Ignatius Reilly were writing Charles Bukowski ... but that's not right either. This is an original voice." - Ralph Adamo
  (Editor - New Orleans Review)

  " ... perhaps the best comedy writer in town." - Al Shea
  (Steppin' Out theater critic)

  "This is poetry on the cloven hoof - nothing but pure psychotic associative human beauty. He's off the beaten wall. He came to a fork in the road, and he went straight up instead. ... Chris is one of the several classic born-and-bred voices in New Orleans. This is the authentic product of Big Easiness ..." - Bill Myers
  (Poet)
