Default Chris Allison

So, I am watching "America's Got Talent" last night and I see a man by the name of Chris Allison come on. I think to myself, he looks real familiar, I think I know him. Turns out I do, he was at camp one year, now he is in Vegas with AGT. Hopefully he does well

Fr., was he competing? What did he do? Did he make it past the 1st round? I knew there was something I was supposed to watch last night.

Chris Allison AKA Bucky, taught at Moose Camp my 1st year there. I don't remember if he was there my 2nd year or not, but he was a lot of fun at Camp.

I saw last weeks, they had a clown troupe that came on and got booed and "buzzed" off within 20 seconds. I find it disappointing that folks in full clown don't get taken "seriously" as entertainers anymore. I may just not watch that show if THAT's their attitude.

His name was "Coney Island Chris Allison" and his routine was eating light bulbs. He played it up like a clown does and won over Pierce (the English guy) who liked his routine.

He did make it to Vegas, but I am not entirely sure how much further he will get, given the amount of talent on the show already. He has to bring something big in order to be recognized, right now if you google his name he is coming up as a "variety act."

that is a clown troupe from new hope baptist church! they are very talented clowns. i was at a training with them earlier this year an i would think some of them will be at tnt clown camp.
that is very sad they didn't even start their act and they buzzed them.
