Don't miss the superstar comedian Chris Kattan appearing live at the Dayton Funny Bone!!!
The sharp-featured Saturday Night Live funnyman who crafted such finely tuned characterizations as Mango and Mr. Peepers on the long-running comedy sketch show, Chris Kattan has followed the familiar SNL path into feature films with such efforts as A Night at the Roxbury and Corky Romano.
Born in Southern California and raised in Seattle, Kattan later attended college at University of California at Northridge, constantly turning up in numerous theatrical productions during that time. Becoming involved with the SNL breeding ground comedy troupe the Groundlings after college, the aspiring comic refined his comic skills until the legendary late-night comedy staple came calling. Joining the SNL cast in March of 1996 as a featured player, Kattan soon earned his keep with his hyper and sassy delivery consistently drawing laughs while combined with his outlandish characterizations. Kattan has also appeared in such popular television shows as Grace Under Fire and NewsRadio in addition to translating his head-bobbing Doug Butabi character (alongside Will Ferrell) to the big screen in 1998's Roxbury. 2001 found Kattan hitting the big screen again with Corky Romano.
