Chair Tripping
I got to thinking about this act tonight and went to watch it. Then I realized how worthy it is for sharing. So check it out. Chris has excellent clowning instincts and an impeccable sense of comedic timing skills. He makes a difficult and dangerous piece look easy.
If you ever come through Chicago, try to catch his "Vaudeville Underground" variety show:

Chairs really are a great prop for the lone clown! I would LOVE to get a Vaudeville Underground thing like that going out here in Seattle.

That was great! Now what do I need for that gag?
1. Chair
2. Shoes
3. Kneepads
4. Crash Helmet
5. First Aid Kit
6. Medical Helicopter on standby.
There that should do it.

You forgot the Chiroprcator on standby, and the 50cc of Demerol loaded into a syringe and ready to go......

Thankyou Tim, I really liked the final little film out of all those clips. The one simply entitled "Chairs".

Thanks ……Tim loved that..... FALLING IS GREAT..... But also guys by doing exstream Pratt falls don’t forget to do warm up before bit and also you can also get your protection blended into outfit such as wrapping wrists and ankles, elbow pads, knee pads, even suggest rib pad or at least wrap them………. but you can blend it all in your outfit so it works, and nothing more funny but to do some good falls and slams I’ve learned hit and slide even use tritium strips padded from wrists to forearm that I made ...
I speak from experience form damaged retina in one eye, cornea in other eye damaged knee the one time I did not use knees pads broke a rib, dislocated finger and dislocated shoulder that we popped back into socket ourselves all of this damage was on stage so PPG personal protection gear I a firm believer when doing stage or excusive falls all can work to get the aweeeeeeeeeeesssss and ouches from the audience while your doing it rather then hearing it from you as you do it…….
