Coney Island Chris

One cannot say enough good things about this show. Chris is a pro entertainer loving the geek sideshow world and making it totally come alive from the moment you step into the theatre. His set is simple but bold and elaborate and all the technical elements are in his hands. He will make the most out of the simplest moment with any blue comedy well hidden within the shows general theme. At least until one point which kind of becomes somewhat adult but yes kids will love it. His warning about not doing this at home plays comedy and is a real warning. How he looses weight is funny on multiple levels as well as in many other moments in his show. Something went wrong in the show and he uses it for humor. I am not giving details so not to give away jokes for those going to see Coney Island Chris.

In most cases I really hate pre recorded popular music in shows for many reason. But also no musician ever seems gets credit for their music. One does not know the title or singer. Chris uses a lot of music – but only two to three bars. Which is perfect. Sometime he does use a little too much and to often for my taste. I would like to see him add credits to the music if he can work it in. Now to be a little picky, at the beginning of the show Coney Island Chris listed several things, all-relating to the sideshow world. Would have like to see him be a little more involved with this list at every moment, imaging each one and play with his timing just a little. He can also play just a little with the over all arches timing of the whole shows tempo.

Coney Island Chris has two more shows in the festival, do not miss this show it is too much fun and one of the best and most polished shows in the festival from what I have seen up to this point.
