Chase Roper’s Summary
Chase Roper is a brilliantly subtle and bitingly sarcastic writer/comedian. He has performed at the Jon Lovitz Comedy Club, optioned a comedy sketch with Cease Brothers Productions, and has had comedy writing featured in the nationally published fashion magazine, Life and Style Weekly. Currently, Chase is a contributing writer for the premier stand-up comedy publication, PunchlineMagazine.com.
Always striving to sharpen his comedic wit, Chase has studied under headliners such as Kyle Cease, Bret Ernst, and Chris Porter. Chase has exceptional creative writing abilities including editorial commentary, comedy, reviews, and interviewing. He is experienced in writing screenplays, teleplays, and press releases.
While it might not be relevant to his comedy career, Chase feels it is important to mention that he is also an expert on the subject of zombies, and martial arts movies. At home Chase is often referred to as Husband or Dad, probably on account of having a wife for 10 years and four children.
Also,"bitingly" might not be a real word.
(It is. I looked it up.)
I am a dedicated Christian family man with great ambitions to write thought provoking screenplays, articles, and short stories that are entertaining and inspiring, and also make people laugh.

I would love to start this up again once I have to develop a clear marketing strategy to gain more live listeners. My shows on Abortion and Scientology continue to be downloaded by other BTR listeners.
