Alright,

So as the previews for Fatal Distraction role around it’s time for me to remind you to check out the live page and try come along to one. They’re fun, rough and ready and possibly a bit rubbish. What more could you want?

Got some exciting news, if you want to see me on the TV, I will be reading the mind of an animated pigeon in the brilliant Little Howard’s Big Questions on BBC1 this Wednesday at 4.30pm. If you miss it you’ll be able to watch the show after on the iPlay at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b012bpm1

Enjoy

So here it is then, all the goss on my 2011 Edinburgh Fringe Show, Fatal Distraction.

CHRIS COX: FATAL DISTRACTION
EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL 2011
PLEASANCE KING DOME, PLEASANCE DOME (VENUE 23)
7:10PM, 3RD – 29TH AUGUST (NOT 16TH)

Fatal Distraction is the brand new show from the multi award-winning, five star, fringe sell-out, mind reader who can’t read minds, Chris Cox. He’s been on TV, toured the world and is somehow still getting away with it.

Chris will be doing things he shouldn’t be able to do with the fringe brochure, performing tricks nobody has ever done before, controlling coincidence, probing theories of fate and answering the FAQ: ‘Can you use this stuff on girls?’. Determined to deliver the most satisfying hour at the fringe Chris will be handing control over to his audience by giving them the power to control his actions with their minds.

Breathtakingly accurate, his predictions are a mongrel hybrid mix of psychology, magic, body language, influencing, comedy, devilish good looks, and most importantly lying. He constantly astonishes audiences with cutting-edge and highly imaginative stunts, charmingly delivered with a warm and mischievous sense of fun.

Chris’ astounding skills are self taught and he conceives and designs all of his own tricks and effects. With regular appearances on TV and radio including a recent appearance on BBC Two’s Dick and Dom’s Funny Business, Chris has attracted celebrity fans including Ricky Gervais, Jonathan Ross, Tim Minchin, Kelly Osbourne, Agyness Deyn and Dannii Minogue (who even proposed to him!)

“Astonishingly impressive … Prepare to be amazed” Time Out
“One of the most exciting entertainers in Britain…the hottest ticket in town” The Guardian
“Stunning…. has other magicians scratching their heads” The Times
“We are clearly in the hands of a master technician – MUST SEE!” The Stage
“Slicker than a baby seal on a waterslide…seriously impressive” The Scotsman
“He’s brilliant, he’ll blow your mind!” Ricky Gervais

So I finished off Mind Over Patter with an almost sold-out show at the Udderbelly, which was a huge amount of fun. If you came, thank you very much indeed. So now it’s all about getting ready for my new Edinburgh Show which is called Fatal Distraction. It’ll be on in the Pleasance Dome come August, and I’m hoping it’ll be very good, a bit different, funny, magical and astounding whilst continuing to have all that geeky charm people know and love. Well, at the very least tolerate.

I’ll be starting to put details of the new show previews on the Live page, so keep an eye out for them and hopefully see you there.

Now I have to order some new badges.
