Bio

Christophe the Insultor is the alter-ego of Christopher Buehlman, a playwright, comedian, actor and poet based in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Buehlman was born in Tampa in 1969 and grew up in St. Pete, where he spent his formative years addicted to video games, pizza, Mad Magazine and British comedy.

Now he travels around the country talking smack to people and drinking beer. That’s his job. When he has time off, he works in a cubicle.

His home in St. Petersburg has a pool that is usually gatorade-green and an unmowed lawn because his roommate is a slacker. That’s you, Dan. If Dan were a superhero, his special power would be luring very attractive women into his room despite the fact it smells like a dorm. His lesser power would be hiding all the goddamned coffee cups.

The patio and rock garden at the Florida house are swarming with small lizards called ‘American anoles,’ and Buehlman considers himself their friend and protector.

Buehlman’s hobbies include attending theater, primitive archery, martial arts, cooking with lots of garlic, breaking up with his woman, getting back together with his woman, thick red wine, hanging out with other people’s dogs, chess, Axis and Allies, expensive shoes, swearing red-faced at the television every time the president speaks, and trying to hug the Amish. Sometimes he has to chase them a little.

He speaks decent Spanish and better French, and would happily pick up Arabic if they would just get a legible alphabet. He is bored sick by all sports except UFC.

Christopher Buehlman is the author of one novel, numerous short plays, a large body of poetry, and a one-man show about Christopher Marlowe.
