Hello everyone,

Do hope you’re well. Thought I’d let you know that the UK tour is about to start on the 1st March, full details can be found here. The tour show will be two acts with an interval. So basically expect the Mind Over Patter show with a few classic tricks and one or two news ones. In London you’ll see the all new and improved Mind Over Patter show from Edinburgh with a few nice changes to keep it fresh and make you think I’m extra amazing.

I also have more exciting news. I will be taking the show to New Zealand in April to perform at the New Zealand Comedy Festival, so be sure to tell all your friends who live on the other side of the world.  Here are the full details of where I’m on.

Hiya,

In case you haven’t been over to the LIVE page recently then you’ll not have noticed that I will be on tour during March performing Mind Over Patter.

On tour the show will be two acts, featuring Mind Over Patter plus some bonus tricks, in London (from the 8th to 14th March) it’ll just be the full hour. Here’s the blurb… I hope to see you there.

FACT 1: Chris Cox can’t read minds.

FACT 2: There’s no such thing as mindreading.

FACT 3: Watching this show will make you doubt the above facts.

Chris Cox is one of the most unique acts in British entertainment and his live shows have become the stuff of legend.

His electric mix of contemporary mindreading, psychology, body language, magic, illusion and humour has spawned four Edinburgh Fringe shows, one UK tour and two West End shows, and earned a heap of four- and five-star reviews, three Edinburgh Fringe Awards, 2007/08/09 sell-out shows, numerous TV and radio appearances and a growing army of celebrity fans.

This will be Chris’s last UK tour for a while as he concentrates on developing projects for American TV. Don’t miss the chance to see one of the stars of the future in your local Picturehouse.

Stand by for some exciting news about a tour in March and international shows in April but here’s another chance to get your Cox fix after his two sell out shows at the Uppingham Theatre.

‘Magic Night’
@ Madame  JoJo’s

Friday, 5th February

Magic Night goes Mentalist!

Magic Night goes mentalist with some killer mind reading, multiple   personas, predicting news, balloon heads and some sexy strumming   ukeleles!

Chris Cox will be using mind reading, psychology and lying whilst trying to influence you and be your friend in order to stroll through  your head and reveal what’s on your mind. (Don’t think anything dirty!) Whilst Anil Desai hilariously morphs into every famous person  you’ve ever met and vintage siren Tricity Vogue strums a storm of
romantic misadventure with her Ukelele.

So come along to one of London’s most dynamic and exciting entertainment haunts, Madame JoJo’s, and see why this night continues  to be one of the best contemporary cabaret nights on the circuit -  with incredible and cutting edge magic acts and some of the best  cabaret in town.
Doors open 7.00pm | Show starts at 7.45pm

Tickets £10 or supper and show ticket: show ticket plus dinner for  two: £40
Tickets can be bought at Ticket Web

Hello one and all,

Firstly a very Happy New Year to you. Excitingly you’ll get to see a lot of my shows in 2010. There’s the run in London in March and soon I’ll be announcing my tour dates. However if you want to see me perform a few old classics and a couple of the best bits from the last Edinburgh show then I’ll be performing in Komedia in Brighton on the 11th January as part of Steve Dela’s “Fantasmagoria.” You can buy tickets here.

Hello everyone,
You all well? Yes? Super. So I’ll be taking Mind Over Patter out and about around the UK in the Spring of 2010 and I can now announce the first lot of dates.

I’ll be performing in the intimate surroundings of the Pleasance Islington on the 8th to 14th March 2010 in lovely old London. It’ll be at 8pm each night, and I’ll do the full Edinburgh show with a bit of extra nonsense. Find out more over at the Live pages.

Hope to see you there

So after 25 shows in Edinburgh, a small run at The Royal Opera House and many previews before all of that Chris is now resting Mind Over Patter, but only for now. He’ll be bringing it back to the stage over Christmas and in 2010, and will be announcing some very exciting television and international news very soon, so don’t worry, you’ll still be able to get your Cox fix.

Chris Cox wins FestBuzz’s Twit­ter of the Year award at Edin­burgh Fringe 2009

Fes­t­Buzz have awarded Chris Cox, the com­edy men­tal­ist magi­cian, the first ever com­edy Twit­ter of the Year Award at Mervyn Stutter’s Pick of the Fringe.

Cox has been given this prize for his cre­ative and pro­lific use of Twit­ter which has helped gar­ner him almost 3,000 fol­low­ers on the site, and ensured his pop­u­lar­ity at this year’s Fringe fes­ti­val with his show Mind Over Pat­ter. He has tweeted around 300 times this August, con­vers­ing with fans and fel­low come­di­ans about com­edy, the inter­net and his show. Chris’ online name is @bigcox, and his mind-reading and magic show com­bines other new social media such as Face­book to cre­ate some excel­lent tricks for his audience.

Fes­t­Buzz is a new way to find cool stuff at the Edin­burgh Fes­ti­vals. It’s a project from Affect Labs, a data pro­cess­ing com­pany based in Edin­burgh, and is sup­ported by Chan­nel 4’s 4iP fund. Fes­t­Buzz aggre­gates “tweets” about shows and then uses sen­ti­ment detec­tion to cre­ate a star rat­ing for the act: reviews are crowd-sourced directly from the peo­ple who are see­ing the shows, rather than critics.

More information can be found here.

Alright? Excitingly I’ve been on the TV a bit recently. You can check out The Mentalist Revealed on Channel 5, or The Culture Show on BBC 2 or this thing on the real life internet at BBC Scotland

Enjoy you mofos x

Great news if you love being cool. The air conditioning in my venue is now working. The biggest problem with Edinburgh is the super hot sweltering greenhouse rooms, well fear no more. Now you can watch magic in a cooled comfort. Yet another reason to come see the show!
