Chad Riden

Chad Riden tells self-incriminating stories of ridiculous misguided and bold adventures that embarrass his family and make everybody else think he's a weirdo.

Riden has appeared on "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central, the Late Show with David Letterman's "Tony Mendez Show," ABC/CMT's "Nashville," "CBS This Morning," "Chrisley Knows Best," "Still The King," "TRUMP OCH KOMIKERNA - HUMORKRIGET" (TV4 Sweden, C-MORE's "Trump Vs Comedy"), CMT-Canada's "Mississippi Snake Grabbers," and once ate lunch at The Magic Castle in Los Angeles whose newsletter called him "the most famous un-famous person."

Chad produced and hosted the annual Guinness world record breaking 184+ hour long #BrokenRecordShow (longest stand-up comedy show, multiple comedians) every year from 2015-2018 as part of the Nashville Comedy Festival. "Broken Records," a documentary shot during the 2016 show, is available to stream on ShortFilmsMatter.com

Riden ran for Mayor of Nashville in 2015, which was hilarious and everybody loved it even though he lost miserably. Undaunted, in 2018 he ran for Governor of Tennessee and garnered 1,096 votes statewide, finishing 14th out of 28 candidates on the ballot - a mere 1,335,011 votes short of winning the whole damn thing.

Chad Riden currently lives on the Taos County, New Mexico high desert mesa where he is building a sustainable, off the grid compound with some awesome friends.
