His original blend of side-splitting comedy, highly original magic, mentalism, hilarious audience interaction, and more, has been entertaining audiences for the last 25+ years!

Chipper most recently received the prestigious Senator Crandall Award for “Excellence in Comedy” and was nominated three times in the past 8 years for “Stage Magician of the Year!” by the Academy of Magical Arts (aka The Magic Castle in Los Angeles). He was also named as one of the “Top Funniest Magicians” performing today by Magic Magazine and honored with “Specialty Act of the Year!” from the Tahoe Daily Tribune and the Sacramento Bee.

Audiences and critics alike continue to rave about his hilarious onstage antics. Chipper’s show is a nonstop, roller coaster of original magic, mentalism, bizarre juggling stunts, and edgy yet corporate-clean comedy, peppered with rapid-fire ad-libs, improv, and audience participation.

Almost 50 years ago — on July 6, 1974 — Garrison Keillor hosted the first broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion, and the perennially popular weekly radio show remained on the air until July of 2016, with its music, comedy sketches, and accounts of life in tiny Lake Wobegon (where the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and the children are all above average). Since the show ended, the author and humorist has continued to take the stage at venues nationwide — much to the delight of legions of fans.
In the coming months, Keillor takes A Prairie Home Companion’s 50th Anniversary Tour across the U.S. Joining Keillor are charming singer-actor Christine DiGiallonardo, dazzling vocalist Heather Masse, the ever-popular Royal Academy of Actors (Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and sound-effects wizard Fred Newman), music director/keyboardist Richard Dworsky, and others to be announced.
Born in 1942 in Anoka, Minnesota, Garrison Keillor developed a love of writing in childhood. “I started out with a No. 2 pencil and pads of paper, then acquired an Underwood manual typewriter with a faint F and a misshapen O,” he says. Five years after getting a job in public radio “doing the 6 a.m. shift Monday to Friday, because nobody else wanted to get up so early,” he wrote a piece for The New Yorker about the Grand Ole Opry and got the idea to launch A Prairie Home Companion.
These days, his in-person humor-filled shows are a treat for folks young and not-so-young. He has written dozens of books —including novels, a book of sonnets, a collection of limericks, a memoir, a political homily, and most recently, Cheerfulness. His biweekly online column can be found on Substack.
