Thank you fans for coming out to catch the show!!!

Well, we're now into our 45th show here at Great America. The early summer crowds have been great and each day the numbers continue to grow as more families are able to tear themselves away from work, school, etc., and go on vacation.

For those not in the know, I'm doing a special engagement of "The Chipper Lowell Experience!" at the Showtime Theater at the park, thru Sept. 7th. This is a 'Solo' show, backed up by a great stage crew and awesome light and sound techs, etc. I use these shows to test my original material, re-work some of my classic comedy bits, and polish and structure new, complete routines which I've been developing. With multiple shows per day, it's easy to 'zone in' and quickly decide what works and what doesn't.

And proud to say the new bits and routines are working nicely. Audiences have been really appreciative throughout, even today when the air-conditioning broke down on the 2nd day of a minor 'heatwave'. People were busy fanning themselves even before the show started, but everyone stayed INDOORS anyway, and had a great time. Thank you guys!!

It's also been great to meet some long-time fans and even new fans who not came to catch this show, but had also seen me in our larger stage production: BLiNK! - An Incredible Evening of Award-Winning Magic!... Which plays casino showrooms and performing arts centers each year. True supporters, and we appreciate each and every one of them!

One of the nicest compliments we received this week came from a couple who asked the ushers if our show was "free" or an "added ticket cost". When the usher told them it was free, they exclaimed, "Wow! This is better than Vegas! This guy plays there all the time and we get to see him for free! Now that's a deal!" Very nice comments! (Of course in truth, you still have to pay to enter the theme park and my show is only a 30 minute stint, so it's nothing like what you get to see in a full-evening, 2-hour performance. Still, all is included in the park's ticket price, and you get to ride some VERY cool coasters! Not to mention there are other great shows at the park this year, including an ICE SHOW, and a great X-Treme sports show out in the arena. Check them out!)

The NON-air conditioning (which is being repaired as I write this) caused some funny problems for me during the shows today. I could not stop sweating no matter how much I tried NOT to move and jump around the stage like I usually do. I tend to be VERY physical when performing, but this time around I was a walking, wet, sludge-ball. I even carried a small hand towel around the stage for most of my show, feeling like the singer, Meatloaf, who always carried a hankerchief because he would sweat so much. Towels were placed all over the stage, draped over various props, rolling platforms, tables, and even a few at the soundbooth for when I run around, up and down the aisles during one segment. Pick them up, dry my face off. Pick them again, dry my hands off. Pick them up again, and dry my arms off....And seconds later, I start all over again with my face. Hot, Hot, Hot!!!

For those who would like to keep in touch with me, please drop me a line at FACEBOOK...

I'm now officially listed under CHIPPERLOWELL.... We'd love to hear from you!

Until next time! All the best to you all!! And have a really FANTASTIC SUMMER!!! Spend it with loved ones! You'll never regret it!

Bursting at the Seams! In a good way! : )

Hello friends!

Well, I'm on the road again -- hopped another 400+ miles and we're now teching at the new theater in northern California. Crew is fantastic and the 'look' of the show is coming together. Hours were spent today prepping the stupid amount of props used in the show while the crew diligently hung 'legs', hung lights, gobos, video projectors and more. Whew!

The show has once again GROWN, and we're needing yet another, even larger trailer for everything...Which we'll probably wind up purchasing in about a month or two. Can't wait! (This particular trek was a 'slow & steady' one, as I felt like the trailer tires were cursing at me the entire drive due to the weight. All I could do was apologize continuously out loud, and gently pat the dashboard in a futile effort to spur the car on to the final destination. Trust me, I looked like an idiot. And what exactly would I say to the mechanic who comes to fix the broken axle in the dead of night as I sit stranded on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere?

So, new trailer it is!

We're currently producing two shows right now: my 'solo' show - "The Chipper Lowell Experience!" and our larger stage production - "BLiNK! - An Incredible Evening of Award-Winning Magic!" which also features some of the TOP STARS of magic working today. Both have received some really nice reviews and we couldn't be happier. Especially in this wicked economy. Both shows tour the United States at different times, and the change is a nice one as it affords me the opportunity to change and create new comedy and magic routines all the time.

Also in the 'NEWS' is a possible new TV special which I'll be a guest star on, doing 'my thing' and providing laughs from 'left of center'. Scheduled to tape before a live audience in October - Promise to keep you all posted as the date approaches.

That's it for now - must get sleep, as the gym comes early and I want to make sure my alarm doesn't wake me up in time for it. : )

Take care!

Chipper : )
