Who is Chris Barry?
Chris Barry is a musical improviser who makes up the duo Four First Names with Richard Paul (on this bill the act appears as First Four Names). Together they take a turning point from an audience member's life and spin it into an improvised comic musical, and at the Countdown Improv Festival they worked with Ralph Krumins as their music director. Their stories have included a Tennessee twelve-year-old who finds her confidence on an unplanned trip with the misunderstood monster from under her bed. The duo had played Countdown every year from 2019 to 2024. [1]
