Edinburgh Festival: Chris Cross – Escaping from Reality

Chris Cross – Escaping from Reality

Escaping from reality might conjure up images of mind bending space age virtual experience. It is in fact a delightfully funny show by escapologist and contortionist and all round funny man Chris Cross.

Set in a damp dungeon in old town Edinburgh, Chris delights the crowd with funny one liner, and other witty banter extremely likely to been seen on Dave in the near future. His act was not stand-up, but merely a young man joking around and bouncing off a somewhat boisterous crowd.

Quick witted and with a iniquitous sense of humor, selecting members of the crowd to participate in the act and keep the creative juices flowing. His final deed involved a straight jacket and two men, that is all one, can say. A contestant on Britain’s Got Talent and with Simon Cowell among his admirers, the future can only get better for Chris.
