PS. Practicing for this video was….delicious!

 

 

 

 

The number one question I get asked as an entertainer is “How long have you been doing this?”.  For a while, I stopped answering that question with a number, as it was beginning to make me feel old. So, instead, my stock answer became “It is something I have always done. I have never had another job”. That answer is totally true, I have never had another job outside of the world of entertainment.

If you count from the first show I did for an audience (who were not my parents), I have been performing for 30 years. I have been performing professionally (for people who actually PAID me to perform) since age 16, which means that 2017 marks my 25th year as a professional entertainer. Longevity in show business is rare, so I am learning to take pride in that number…although it does not make me feel any less old when I say it out loud.

Looking through old publicity and promotional photos, tells a great visual story of the evolution of my career. I found some of my favorite early photos to share with you. So, please stop adding 25 and 16 together, and enjoy them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The shiny new ChrisLinn.com is finally up and running.  It was a long overdue update that kept getting put aside due to a busy performance schedule, and an even busier time enjoying my new “gig” as daddy for the past 2 years.

Some exciting things are in the works and will be updated on this site. For those who have been asking, you will be happy to know we have a new calendar page where you can see my upcoming performances. I am currently performing for a lot of corporate events, as they allow me to spend less time on the road and more time with family (see “new gig” above). There are, however, some public shows planned in 2017, and we will continue to add a wider schedule of performing arts center, resort and theme park dates in later 2017 and beyond.  I hope to see you there!

I have see that you have cleverly navigated yourself to the new “news and blog” section of the site. We decided to divide this section into three main categories for your reading and information enjoyment:

“NEWS” is where you will find postings about shows, TV appearances, media mentions, and announcements. You know…”newsy” stuff.

“EVENT SUCCESS” is where my talented booking team and I will share tips and advice for event planners in corporate event and special event markets.

The “BACKSTAGE JOURNAL” will feature posts written by me, and feature stories from my travels and things that I find interesting. (Things like the post you are reading right now..which I admit is not very interesting, but I don’t want to set expectations too high right at the start). If you have something you would like to hear about, or have always wondered, please let me know.

We have a goal to update the news / blog section regularly, so I hope you will make a note to check back occasionally. Update notices will be posted on Facebook and Twitter, as well.

Finally, we have a new online store that allows you to purchase any of the merchandise that you have been regretting not buying after one of my shows. All proceeds from these sales benefit the Linn Family Diaper Fund (hopefully to soon become the Linn Family Potty Training Academy).

I hope you enjoy the new site, and I look forward to entertaining you soon.
