››› A MAN WHO’S PAID TO TALK TO HIMSELF ‹‹‹
A fascinating, entertaining, and highly-amusing presentation by someone who has appeared many times
on TV, and is rated by Showbiz newspaper ‘The Stage’ as one of the Top-10 Ventriloquists in the UK.
Chris shares some amusing anecdotes, sings a couple of songs, and introduces members
of his ‘Gang’, explaining the development of their characters and voices.
We meet ‘Charlie’ & ‘Desmond’ who are the two main protagonists of Chris’ Show.
If requested, he also brings ’Stan’, a ’traditional’ doll, and even shows how he ‘works’ !! All great fun !!
Just as a ‘taster’, here’s Chris singing a popular ballad….
And here are some quotes from letters of thanks,
and reports in WI Federation News…..
♦♦ ’The village hall rocked with laughter ……. It was all due to
Chris Bylett and hid two hilarious side-kicks, Desmond and Charlie.
He first gave a potted history of his beginnings in Show Business …. he also
told us about his appearances on TV, in the Theatre, and in concert shows.
Then we met Charlie, who had a wonderful rapport with the audience, and
Desmond the Duck (Chris’s first venture into Ventriloquism). We cannot give
his stories away because there are so many, and also you may wish to book
him yourselves. Chris also does a nice line in conjuring tricks. He is well worth
the fee and we will remember our February meeting for a long time to come.
Laughter really is the best medicine !!’
♦♦ ’…Just a note to thank you very much for brightening up a
dull February evening …….. I can honestly say you put
on a brilliant show which had everyone in fits of laughter,
and I have heard nothing but excellent feedback…’
♦♦ ’… Chris Bylett entertained us by explaining why he talks
to himself and gets paid for it ! He introduced us to some of his
ventriloquist dolls, ‘Charlie’, ‘Stan the Man’ and ‘Desmond’
…. He also entertained us with his brilliant singing.
A speaker we would highly recommend.’
♦♦ ’…Chris Bylett, an entertainer, singer and ventriloquist,
had us singing along and laughing until our sides hurt….’
♦♦ ’…members were entertained by ventriloquist Chris Bylett
and his not-so-dumb dummies, ‘Charlie’ and ‘Desmond the Duck’.
After explaining a bit about Show Business, Chris and his pals
raised many a laugh with banter between themselves and the audience….’
