On Tour

Hello Everyone,

Fresh from finishing my run at the Edinburgh Fringe I'm about to take Control Freak on a UK Tour. It'll be a two act version of the show combining the award winning Everything Happens For A Reason with the new show in a super evening of mind-reading nonsense!

I've created an event for each date so tell your friends and come see me, you'll find them all on my group page at http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=18020437483

Chris Cox : Control Freak
THE UK TOUR.

You think you have free will? You think you can decide what you choose? You think fate can't be changed? You need to think again! 24 year old Chris Cox will change the way you think! After selling out his entire run and winning the Zebra Award at the 2007 Edinburgh Festival - the mind reader who can't read minds is back reading minds with a new 18 date UK tour entitled 'Control Freak' which kick's off in Crawley on the 5th October.

'Control Freak' focuses on our ability to control those around us, through a mix of magic, psychology, neuro-linguistics programming, reading body language, subliminal messaging, influencing, devilish good looks and lying. It combines his award winning show 'Everything Happens For A Reason', with this years highly acclaimed sell out Edinburgh Fringe show 'Control Freak' in funny, entertaining, jaw-dropping and cutting edge fashion leaving you laughing, thinking and rubbing your chin in a slightly curious fashion.

Chris looks at how fate and chance are mysteries of the universe, but he's worked out that there are rules to the universe, and if you learn those rules you can control the universe. As such he'll be attempting to control the universe, (as long as the universe is an un-biased selection of people in a theatre watching him and thinking he's
great!)

By removing the audience's free will and controlling them without them knowing it, he attempts to prove that he can make it look like he can read their minds! Chris will be looking at the 'what if' moments in life, seeing if everything happens for a reason and trying to work out how all those little things about our lives add up to turn us into the person we are. It all comes together in a stunning finale that proves Chris has been in control throughout and will leave the audience in no-doubt that he is as much of a geek as he is a control freak.

With celebrity fans including Ricky Gervais, Dannii Minogue and Kelly Osbourne, 'Control Freak' is a show not to be missed! Audience participation is crucial!!!
