Christopher “The Real Frii” Elliott
PerformerA native of New Haven, Connecticut (USA), Christopher “The Real Frii” Elliott, began performing as a spoken word poet at the world famous Apollo Theater NY. He would later go on to tour throughout the U.S., England, Switzerland, and France. In 2020, Frii set the first ever official world recorded for “longest written alliteration” with his poetry book titled “The Epic Poem: Mastermind”. He currently works full time as an actor, host of the “Frii Lunch” podcast, and branding consultant.
Born to teenage parents, and the eldest of six siblings, Frii has always been passionate about family, youth, and community. He loves his family and loves laughing, it’s one of his self-proclaimed super powers. Strengthened by his faith in God, and supported by his faithful wife and children, he lives by this declaration: “I am a monolith, I will not be broken. I am a tall tree, I will not be shaken. I am love. I am peace. I am joy. I know exactly who I am.”
