Meet Your Hosts
Chip Chantry
Stand-up Comedian & Sunburnt Podcast Co-Host
Chip Chantry is one of the funniest comedians working today. You may have seen him on Netflix's hit show "Tires" alongside Shane Gillis, or caught his cult-favorite comedy special "Move Closer" that's been making waves in the comedy world.
On the Sunburnt Podcast, Chip brings his sharp wit and tropical obsession to every episode. When he's not touring comedy clubs across the country, you'll find him planning his next beach vacation or perfecting the art of the Hawaiian shirt.
Don't miss Chip's brand new hour of stand-up at Chip Chantry's Thanksgiving In Paradise this November in Waikiki!

Recurring Segments
Every episode of the Sunburnt Podcast is packed with signature segments. Here are the recurring bits you can count on each week, listed in the order they unfold in the show.
Front Desk
A recurring comedy audio sketch where an unhinged hotel guest calls the front desk with increasingly absurd requests — Chip plays Mr. Chantry in room 308, Thomas plays the beleaguered clerk who has heard it all.
Old Fashioned Slather
The show's opening ritual: Chip and Thomas smell and slather on their favorite sunscreen to get into a happy, beachy headspace — and every Burnt One is invited to slather along.
For the Algo
Tropical travel news and the pop-culture stories the Burnt Ones need to hear, packaged so the robot overlords (a.k.a. the algorithm, who we love and adore) in their infinite wisdom share it with more people.
Hypochondriac Corner
Both hosts are self-confessed hypochondriacs. Each week they compare their latest self-diagnoses and the hilarious ways their brains have convinced them they're sick.
Buffett Facts
Chip and Thomas each deliver one comedy fact about their hero, Jimmy Buffett — equal parts absurd trivia and tribute to the original "burnt one" and patron saint of beach music.
Fish of the WeekOur Hero of the Deep
A weekly comedy-meets-marine-biology review of a specific tropical fish — and the science is genuinely accurate. Both hosts have produced comedy-and-science animal shows for National Geographic, so deep dives like this are right in their wheelhouse.
The Good Book
A joke-filled but accurate accounting of a Guinness World Record the Sunburnt audience can't live without knowing.
Trouble in Paradise
A call-in segment where Burnt Ones ring the line to share their vacation mishaps and travel disasters.
