Chris reigns as one of the top Escapologists in the UK and performs both standard and exclusive customised escapes around the world for corporate events, trade shows, product launches and promotions, festivals, theatres, comedy clubs and so on…!

Chris starts his Cabaret Show by ‘Warming-Up’ his body by performing some contortionism moves that really get the ‘Freaked Out Factor’ spread around the audience! Dancing with his bones, making his shoulder blade look like a chicken wing, clapping with his elbows, skipping with his arms – all performed in a comedy manner - general madness…(!) For the big finale Chris has the audience cheering and whooping on their feet as he makes his big escape! Chris can escape from a straitjacket to 50metres of clingfilm, from a giant sized company product to restraints inside a new convertible - whatever suits the event!

Combining quick wit and talent, Chris can perform walkabout, meet and greet, mix and mingle Close-Up Magic. regular performances at casinos, nightclubs, corporate events, VIP parties, celebrity after-parties and so on...

Chris is a very much ‘stand out’ character what with his crazy hair, tall towering structure and his trademark yellow and black, he is certainly someone who can attract a lot of attention and make the most of the abundance of attention he manages to gather. Chris isn’t a crusty old Magician, if it’s the fresh and funky, modern and stylish, cool and professional image and approach you want to go for, Chris Cross is the BEST Entertainer for the job - combining quick wit, charm and talent with his bags of confidence alongside his gelling, engaging personality he has with his spectators, he provides a service to definitely be remembered and talked about for years later.

‘His real skill is in creating an atmosphere of complete lunacy which infects your mind and leaves you questioning whether the sane world still exists. To say he is a natural showman is a gross understatement – the 19-year-old has already been a street performer for a decade and appeared on Britain’s Got Talent, and can handle an audience like a piece of putty. His body-bending stunts merely provide a vehicle for a comedy act that’s as slick as it is screwball, delivered in an outrageous, Russell Brand-esque persona.’ – Nuala Calvi, The Stage Magazine (Edinburgh Festival 2008 Review)

Chris Bylett & Co

ventriloquist

One of the top 'Comedy-Spesh' acts in the UK with extensive experience in TV, Concert and Cabaret, both at 'Home' and Overseas (incl. Cruising). Chris has had over 50 TV & Radio appearances, including ‘Brainiac’ (with Charlie), ‘Casualty’, the ’AA’ TV advert (with ‘Stan’), ‘The Weakest Link’ (where Chris used Ms. Robinson as his ’dummy’ !!), ‘Guys ‘n’ Dolls’, ‘The BIG Breakfast’, ‘Make My Day’……...

Rated by trade newspaper 'The Stage' as one of the Top-10 Vents in the UK, here are some genuine quotes: “..most polished of all ventriloquists..”;  “..a name synonymous with the superior end of the business of Ventriloquism..”;  “..a formidable live act with a reputation built on all-round appeal”;  “.. years of operatic training have bequeathed him the legacies of a magnificent (singing) voice and a system of breath-control which makes him one of the best ventriloquial technicians in the business.”

He is also much in demand as a close-up/meet-and-greet magician and is a very popular children’s entertainer (presenting both magic shows and circus skills workshops)

He can work either fully-self-contained (own PA) or through in-house PA, whilst still being able to control all his stage effects via a pre-mix system built into his stage props. He also has 7-piece band parts and will always work with backing musicians if appropriate/feasible. Chris’ ability to adjust/adapt his performance to any type of audience makes him one of the most popular all-round entertainers on the circuit !!
