Chris Conidis Artist, Author, Screenwriter
Chris Conidis is a versatile writer, filmmaker, and improv performer with a career spanning over two decades. His work includes satire, social commentary, and dark humor, often exploring themes like societal critique, futurism, and absurdity.
Writer and former artist, Chris Conidis is back at it, in the latest work-in-progress, “Progress City,” a sharp satire that takes a deep, comical dive into society’s love affair with “progress.” This new project, a sprawling parody of futurism and modern life, unpacks humanity’s journey from the cave to today’s social dilemmas. With his trademark humor, Conidis pokes fun at how every era has imagined the future—often with more confidence than accuracy—and how these visions have both shaped and clashed with reality.
Introducing Progress City – A Satirical Journey Through Our Obsession with "Advancement"
This sprawling parody of futurism and modern life peels back the layers of our societal quirks, from our earliest beginnings to the complex dilemmas of today.
*Progress City* invites us to reflect on what it really means to move forward—and at what cost.

Chris Conidis: The Time-Traveling Master of Mediocrity
​
Chris Conidis sprinkles in some historical trivia, and tears apart pop culture like a kid with a piñata. Ever wonder what it takes to be an expert in absolutely nothing? Look no further. Known for his ability to leave no trace in the annals of history, He is a distinguished master of “meh.” While some aim for fame, he is content on being the unsung hero of mediocre pursuits, championing the art of sarcastic observation and the pursuit of temperate achievements.He’s not here to change the world…He is just here to rearrange the deck chairs while the ship goes down...

Born in the depths of prehistoric humanity—probably while someone was inventing the wheel—Conidis started his career as a caveman, slowly chiseling away at rocks and cracking his first sarcastic comment. Back then, there were no influencers, just basic survival and the occasional woolly mammoth scare. Conidis was ahead of his time, the original social media pioneer—drawing stick figures on cave walls to the disinterest of any Neanderthal within a 10-mile radius. No followers, no problem.
​
As time ticked on and human history fumbled its way forward, Conidis stayed in the mix, dodging plagues, bad haircuts, and even worse fashion trends (seriously, tunics?) with the same finesse he now uses to avoid online trolls. While everyone else was busy building empires, he was busy telling Socrates, “Hey, man, why not take a break and just chill? You’re overthinking this whole philosophy thing.” Of course, his toga party ideas didn't exactly take off, and his critique of democracy was something like: “Yeah, democracy... or should I say, Demo-Crazy?”
​
Conidis gave the Egyptians a hand in designing the pyramids, suggesting, “Have you thought about making them triangle-shaped? I mean, it’s just an idea.” Fast forward to the Dark Ages—Conidis was there too, trying to make fire jokes, but the crowd just wasn’t ready. #TooSoon.
​
Then came the Renaissance—oh, what a time to be alive! Conidis was rubbing elbows with Da Vinci, telling him, “Ever thought about, like, flying or something?” and witnessing revolutions unfold, many of which he considered “way too dramatic.” He dodged cannonballs in the French Revolution like it was no big deal and spent a good amount of time roasting Napoleon’s height—"You're really that short in person?" Classic Conidis.
​
And then, just when you thought the madness couldn’t get any worse... enter the modern era. Selfies, hashtags, and TikTok dances. Conidis, still sporting a confused look from the previous century, couldn’t believe it. “Wait, so we went from inventing fire to lip-syncing to pop songs on a tiny screen? How did I miss that memo?” he wondered aloud.
​
Today, he spends his days in utter bewilderment, watching humanity become obsessed with filters, likes, and viral nonsense. "Cave paintings at least had some culture," he quips. A seasoned time traveler, Conidis is still trying to figure out how the human race went from inventing the wheel to... unboxing videos. Through it all, Conidis remains a witness to the spectacle—armed with sarcasm sharper than a medieval sword and a humor that has survived and roasted the ages.

Chris Conidis Welcomes You to Hell:The Eviction Notice: Life Begins at Vaginity
Welcome Outta the Vagin' and Into the Cosmos: A Birth-Day Celebration
Congratulations, you made it! One minute you’re hanging out in the ultimate VIP lounge—a rent-free, all-inclusive womb with room service and mood lighting—and the next, boom! Welcome to life. You’ve been evicted. The rent is due.
​
Welcome to Hell: Your Birth Certificate is a One-Way Ticket"
Congratulations! You’re here. Not by choice, of course, but let’s not dwell on the details of how you were unceremoniously thrust into the cold, fluorescent-lit world like a contestant on a game show where nobody wins. The fact that you exist—crying, naked, and bewildered—should tell you everything you need to know: this isn’t heaven. It’s hell. And your birth was the opening act.
​
Chapter 1: The Exit Strategy
Let’s not sugarcoat it: leaving your mom’s cozy uterus was no small feat. You didn’t just "arrive" on Earth; you were forcefully launched like a human torpedo. The eviction notice? A series of contractions that felt like Mother Nature yelling, "Pack your things! You're outta here!" And out you went, probably screaming, "I WASN'T READY!"
If birth were a concert, the vagina would be the stage curtain. You didn’t exactly gracefully step onto the stage of existence; no, you were yanked out like a drunk bachelorette during karaoke night.
​
Your birth wasn’t some grand, celestial celebration of life; it was a violent, messy eviction from the only place that made sense—your mom’s womb. You went from floating in peaceful, amniotic bliss to being shoved headfirst into a world where the first thing they do is slap you. Welcome to Earth, kid. The line for suffering forms to the left.
And let’s talk about your first breath. Oh, that burning sensation in your lungs? That’s oxygen mixed with disappointment. It’s the universe’s way of saying, “Get used to it.”
​
Chapter 2: From Darkness to Fluorescents
The first thing you experience? Bright-ass hospital lights and masked faces staring down at you like you’re an alien artifact. It’s the ultimate betrayal: you leave the warm, watery cocoon and are immediately met with the cold, harsh realities of Earth. A slap on the butt? Really? What a way to say, "Welcome to the planet!"
Also, your first outfit? A blanket and a hat. You went from floating naked in amniotic luxury to being swaddled like a burrito. You didn’t ask for this life. You were fine being a tadpole with dreams.
​
Chapter 3: Welcome to the Cosmos, Kid
Here’s the kicker: no one tells you that life is just one long chain of ridiculousness. Oh, you thought squeezing out of a vagina was tough? Wait until you try paying taxes or sitting through a 9-to-5 meeting where Steve keeps saying "circle back."
Your birth certificate isn’t just proof you exist—it’s your membership card to a weird, chaotic club called Earthlings. And spoiler alert: there’s no manual. You’re on your own, kid.
​
Chapter 4: Your First Cosmic Crisis
Life immediately throws challenges at you, like figuring out how to breathe (no pressure!) and convincing your parents not to post embarrassing photos of you on social media. The cosmos isn’t all stars and planets—it’s diaper blowouts and teething.
But hey, at least you didn’t have to fill out an online application to be born. Could you imagine? “Why should we let you exist? List three references and describe your five-year plan.”
​
Chapter 5: The Cosmic Joke
If you’re reading this, congrats—you survived the grand cosmic joke called birth. And sure, the journey out of your mom’s vagina was messy, loud, and downright traumatic, but so is everything else in life. You might as well start with a bang... or a push... or a C-section. Whatever works.
So here’s to you, little astronaut, launched from the womb and into the cosmos. The universe awaits. Just don’t expect it to make any sense. Cheers!
​
Life’s Welcome Mat: Pain and Bills
The delivery room itself is a metaphor for the rest of your existence. It’s cold, sterile, and full of people pretending to know what they’re doing. You enter screaming and leave confused. The first thing you’re handed isn’t a guidebook or a survival kit—it’s a bill. They don’t even wait until you can hold your head up to remind you that everything here costs money.
Your birth certificate? Oh, that’s not a celebration of your arrival. It’s your entry pass to a lifetime of existential dread. Look closer: it’s really a receipt, proof that someone’s paying for this cosmic joke, and spoiler—it’s you.
​
Proof You’re in Hell
-
You Need Food to Survive: You just escaped a place where all your nutritional needs were delivered straight to your belly. Now you have to cry and scream for sustenance like a contestant on Survivor.
-
You Age: Nothing screams “hell” quite like the inevitability of wrinkles, bad knees, and taxes.
-
You’ll Never Understand Taxes: Seriously, no one does. It’s just suffering disguised as math.
-
People Keep Posting Your Baby Photos Online: Imagine starting life with your dignity already compromised.
The Hellish Punchline
Here’s the kicker: nobody asked for this. You didn’t fill out an application to be born. There wasn’t a job interview. You were yanked into existence, handed a body that constantly malfunctions, and told, “Go figure it out.”
The universe didn’t gently guide you here—it shoved you, laughing all the way. You’re stuck in a world where traffic jams exist, avocado toast is overpriced, and you’re expected to be grateful for it.
What Now?
Your existence is proof that this place isn’t paradise. But hey, you might as well laugh about it. After all, if life’s a joke, then birth is just the punchline nobody got. So welcome to hell—don’t worry, the heat is free, and the misery is endless. Cheers!
