Chris Bliss’ big break came from The “Tonight Show” where, after an auspicious debut, he soon became a regular and one of Jay Leno‘s favorite guests. His clean act has made him one of America’s most sought after corporate entertainers as well. Other career highlights include the release of Chris’s first CD, “My Act With Your Eyes Closed”. In the last year, his talents as a comedian have received the same recognition he first achieved as a variety artist. Chris was chosen recently to appear at the prestigious Kilkenny Festival in Ireland and was honored by his selection to perform at the 20th anniversary of the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal – the largest and most prominent comedy festival in the world. Bliss recently re-introduced juggling to his stand-up performances. “It’s like icing on the cake”, he explains. “I start by telling them I once toured with Michael Jackson – and they’re just not buying it. nd then – wham!” Bliss laughs. “I love how totally shocked they are that I’m actually good at it. It’s the same thing I love about comedy – that joy of the unexpected.”
