media comedy world by storm.
Christianee Porter also known as The Christi Show is a proud
native of Little Rock, Arkansas
who currently resides in Atlanta
Georgia. She is an entertainer that loves to act, sing, rap,
and dance. In 2005, Christianee moved to Atlanta to pursue a career in music. After a
couple of years, she decided to pursue a "normal" life. She became
a Pre-school teacher and tried to adjust to the monotony of a
regular 9 to 5 job. In 2013, she could no longer stay away from the
stage, and she decided to try Stand-Up Comedy. In January 2016, she decided to start making videos
online as a senior citizen woman named Ms. Shirleen. In
July 2016, the character went viral,
and she started traveling the country performing stand-up comedy
and singing as Shirleen.
Christianee's life is proof that sometimes your dreams can come
true by simply changing your approach to achieving them. She was
featured in Tyler Perry's Madea's
Family Funeral, Fox's Right This Minute, Tv One's SisterCircle, and
BET Digital. She is a NAACP's Image Award nominee, and she is
currently headlining her own comedy tour around the country. There
is more to come from the brilliant mind of Christianee Porter,
and all she advises anyone to do concerning her is to stay tuned in
because the best is yet to come.
On the upscale date night, guests are invited to dress their
best and experience a night of comedy that will include, a gourmet
buffet that will offer delicious options prepared by guest chef

& Ivory. To add a little touch to the meal, one glass of
