working in a winterwonderland....

Our show, "The CHIPPER LOWELL EXPERIENCE!", opened in mid February and things are going very smoothly. Even with the amazing amount of snowstorms up here in beautiful Lake Tahoe, we're still getting good crowds and the numbers are steadily growing as the word gets out.

The show is located at the Horizon Casino Resort, in their Golden Cabaret Showroom. A nice intimate theater that really works well for comedy and connecting with the audiences. I must say that the Horizon has rolled out the red carpet and been absolutely fabulous, as has our other executive producers. Could not have asked for a better team behind the scenes.

This last week celebrates our 100th show! And we've had several people who have come back two to three times - true fans! Our contract has been extended indefinitely and the word of mouth has been fantastic. Also in the show is Robert Whirlwind, with a hoop act like you've never seen, and three talented dancers who perform the dance routines and help out during various comedic segments during the show. The structure, although carefully planned, has the look of being 'in-the-moment' where anything can happen. My own moments in the show cater to who I'm chatting with from the audience and makes each show fun and different for myself and the audiience. Might be a huge factor in why people come back to catch the show a second time knowing that no two shows will ever be alike.

There are several routines waiting in the wings which we will be rotating through the show every couple of months, and choreographer Lisa Casullo will also be changing up the dance numbers here and there. For more information, our new website strictly geared for the show is.....

Otherwise, my old 'official' site for news, pix, bio's, etc... is....

We've had several friends and celebrities stop by to catch the show - those pix should be posted in the next two weeks. People include Garry Shandling, Dana Carvey, Kathy Griffin, along with magic noteables such as Mark Kornhauser, Kalin & Jinger, Franz Harary, Christopher Hart, etc...

While this particular blog is more of a 'what's-going-on' message, I promise to return with stories from the theater and our live performances. Also a BIG THANKS to Mel Shields who wrote a great article on the show in the Sacramento Bee, Ross Orlando who gave us a cover story for the Lake Tahoe Entertainer magazine and Zoe Rose from Reno Gazette Journal who will soon be publishing the latest news piece and review of the show on April 27th for the RGJ's BEST BETS entertainment weekly. We've also got nice coverage from KMTN television and KRLT 93.9 radio both in appearances and in keeping the buzz going on this show. It takes MANY people supporting a show to make it work, and we humbly THANK everyone out there who has helped us directly and indirectly.

More to come! Until then, should you find yourself up in Northern Nevada, stop on by! The lake and mountains is breathtaking and the casinos, restaurants, shops are simply the best! This really is a great place and for us it was easy to make the decision to open the show up here and raise our boy in such an amazing piece of the country. No smog, no traffic (at least not 'freeway' traffic!) and really great people up here who know each other and most importantly, CARE about each other.

Okay, gotta go - it's our day off! Next blog with certainly contain something funny. And if not, well.....then you don't have a sense of humor and you need to deal with that. I gotta go take a pee now - See? I'm human!

Cheers!
