“His material was edgy and inspired -- defying categorization,” exclaimed the Winnipeg Free Press.

The review was from Chris “Crazy Leg’s’ performance at the 5th annual CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival in April of 2006.

After nearly two and half decades of doing stand-up, Fonseca is coming into his own, again.

The CBC will air his gala appearance, which adds to his numerous television credits, which include The Late Show with David Letterman, and HBO’s Loco Slam, to name a few.

At 42, Chris finds his career on a high visibility level. And he approaches the next wave enthusiastically.

In the last year he has performed at both the National NACA Conference and The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C..

Both were prestigious gigs.

NACA in Minneapolis was the latest in a string of showcases he has done in his 15 years on the college circuit.

In each of these showcases, he has received a standing ovation.

Colleges around the country, praise him as an original, talented comedian able to connect with his audience in a unique way.

The D.C. performance was part of the anniversary of The Americans with Disabilities Act.

Along with his son George W., George Bush Sr., who signed the law was on hand to celebrate.

In past years, Fonseca has also performed in events involving Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

A recognizable presence, as one of the world’s most successful comics with a disability, Fonseca has run the gamut of spotlights.

From his role as what else, a comic with a disability, on the mega-hit, Baywatch to his fundraising efforts on behalf of charities across the country, Fonseca has blazed a trail of wheelchair tracks in laughter.

Born with Cerebral Palsy, he was raised by an aunt and uncle, after his mother died in the delivery room.

His adopted dad, Calletano Fonseca Sr., lived to be 100.

Sound like fodder for a book?

It is.

After re-writes and soul-searching, Fonseca fans can finally read “Daddy, Where Do Jokes Come From,” beginning in August.

A CD by the same name will be released in June.

It will be Fonseca’s 3rd, following 1997’s acclaimed, “Not Tonight, I Have Cerebral Palsy” and 2000’s Get in The Van.”

2006 seems to have great potential for Chris.

Something to build on a comedic legacy he began long ago.
