Chris Bliss
For comedian
and commentator Chris Bliss, life has been a study in contrasts. The
youngest son of a Washington D.C. attorney, he majored in
comparative literature at Northwestern University and the University
of Oregon before dropping out at the end of his junior year. The
reason? To pursue a career in juggling. And what did his
argumentative father think about the choice? "He told me I was
ruining my life, which I can understand in retrospect. Your son
comes home after his third year of college - where he's on the
dean's list - and says he's running off to join the circus . . .
what would you say?"

ROSS SHAFER
Ross didn't start out to be the world's funniest motivational speaker. He was
reared in the rugged timberlands of the Pacific Northwest where his father
worked for Arco and his mother had her hands full managing Ross and his two
youngest brothers. In Junior High, Ross mowed enough lawns to switch buy an
electric guitar. Unfortunately, he didn't mow enough lawns to buy an amplifier.

performance, thus creating hilarity that never fails to please an audience. He
is more than just a comedian…his mind-boggling magic leaves them amazed,

has taken Jon around the world playing resort hotels, colleges, cruise ships,
comedy clubs and corporate events. In fact, Jon was invited to the White House
to give a special performance for the President and Members of Congress. |
