With an infectious smile and an irreverent take on everyday life, Jared Chandler is one of the hottest up-and-comers on the Denver comedy scene. Hailing from the cow-laden oasis of Greeley, Colorado, Jared has been a comedy staple across the state, ranging from the Comedy Fort in Fort Collins to the weekly comedy showcase he produces at Stella’s Pinball Arcade in Greeley. Jared has also been a recurring face on the world-famous stage at the Comedy Works in Denver. Some career highlights include working with such comedy greats as Josh Blue, Sam Tallent, and Pete Lee, no nepotism required! When he isn’t asking the hard questions on his podcast Stretch Yourself (available on Spotify), Jared enjoys spending quality time with his pets, friends, and family. He also loves ordering take-out when he definitely shouldn’t! When Jared was 23 he abandoned his family to work at a fish processing plant in Alaska on a whim, but his wife forgave him anyway because he returned two weeks later. That’s just what a nice guy he is!
