Add Review/Comment

“The Chipper Experience! – Where Comedy & Magic COLLIDE!” will be warping minds, young and old, at
the Center Stage Theatre, in Fontana, CA, on OCTOBER 22nd and 24th (Friday evening and Sunday afternoon).
This fun-filled show stars Chipper Lowell, who has twice been honored with “Comedy Magician of the
Year!” by the International Magicians Society. Chipper brings a wonderfully manic energy to the evening, presenting
an unusual blend of stand-up, comedy magic, bizarre juggling stunts, and tons of audience participation. The laughs
are plenty and the routines are certainly highly original to this red-headed comic.

Chipper has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Disney Channel, and the Jerry Lewis MDA
Telethon, just to name a few. He is also a regular headliner in Lake Tahoe, Laughlin, Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
His background is just as unusual as his performances. Chipper grew up traveling all over the world on various
circuses and large arena shows with his show business parents. His mother was an aerialist who hung by her teeth
several stories in the air, and his father was a professional clown who toured with Ringling Bros. back in the 1950’s &
60’s. It was in this bizarre environment that Chipper was taught all the circus skills and variety arts he could soak up
– All of which he would later poke fun at in his own full-evening stage show.
In 2006 & 2007, “The Chipper Experience!” ran for an extended 12-month engagement and over 600
performances at the Horizon Casino Resort in Lake Tahoe. The rave reviews and audience appeal soon catapulted
Chipper into touring with a larger stage production known as “BLiNK! – An Evening of Award-Winning Comedy &
Magic!” which played for the last 3 years at performing arts centers across the U.S. The visual comedian has also
appeared in many television commercials for such companies as Aerosoles, Nissan, AT&T, Bud Light, and
Disneyland.
The Los Angeles Times has called him, “Feverish, Frenetic & Hilarious!”, and the Sacramento Bee in 2007 named
him among the “top three live stage comedians” for the year (alongside Lily Tomlin and Lewis Black. Not bad
company!)
What sets Chipper apart from others magicians is that not only are the magic routines original, but Chipper
also has an extensive background in improv, having trained with The Groundlings many years ago. His razor-sharp
adlibs pepper each and every performance much to the delight of the crowds.
Audiences will witness dangerous juggling feats with medieval weapons, arms twisting 360 degrees,
audience members becoming human radio towers, paintings that suddenly come to life, and even a fully trained and
highly intelligent “snapping turtle” attempting to “out-do” Evil Knievel. And even more surprises are in store. Best
of all, the show is “Family-Friendly” and is suitable for all ages.
“Delightfully Funny!” shouts the Sacramento Bee. “Enthralling & Amazing!” reports the Madera Tribune.
And The Tahoe Tribune even named Chipper “Specialty Act of the Year!” When asked about his unique approach to
magic and comedy, Chipper replied, “One of the things I strive for is to present really original material. Tricks that
nobody has ever seen before and comedy bits that would even make me laugh if I were in the audience. The
audiences have been truly wonderful wherever we’ve played, and every night it’s such a joy to run onstage and ‘play’
with the crowds.”
Also on the bill is guest artist, Arthur Trace. Trace is a multiple award-winning magician who displays
breathtaking agility and prowess when it comes to sleight-of-hand and dazzling manipulations. He is the winner of the
World Championship of Magic (known as “FISM”) in Stockholm, and like Chipper has appeared on a wide variety of
television shows and stages around the globe.
