When I decided to do a huge run of performances of CUTE WITH CHRIS: LIVE in LOS ANGELES, I didn't think I could pull it off. I've worked really hard over this past six weeks, and I have to say, I've had an amazing time. This video is my very last message from the stage. You can see all of the stage messages on my BONUS CHANNEL.
I've had a great time this week performing my LIVE show. One thing I don't think people realize is that because I'm working with a huge screen, the stage is side-lit. That means there are no lights in my eyes, and I can see everybody in the audience very clearly. Tonite there was a very enthusiastic group of teen girls in the front row who kept clicking pics during my opening number. The red lights on their digital cameras kept distracting me. I gave them hell in my message from the stage and I think it freaked them out. When I came out of my dressing room to chat, they were gone.
I still have one week left to perform my awesome LIVE show in Los Angeles. The show has really changed a lot over the last few weeks. Last night, I gave my worst show ever. The audience was pretty nice, but the Gods were not in the room with me. The weird thing is, tonite, the following nite, I gave my very BEST show. I wrote a new beginning, and it was going along pretty smoothly when these two Hollywood development girls in high-heeled shoes and horrible leather bolero jackets stood up and announced from the audience that they'd accidentally gone to the wrong play. It was the best thing that could have happened to me. Thank you, Hollywood Girls. After you left, I made fun of you all night long.
Lauren from CALIFORNIA writes:"...Hi Chris, I just wanted to thank you for the great performance Saturday the 22 of November. It was a thrilling 23rd birthday present to be able to see you perform." CLICK FOR THE REST OF LAUREN'S MESSAGE .
Every night at CWC LIVE, my special celebrity guest "Peanuts" makes an appearance. I'm a bit disturbed at how popular he's becoming. I have several "Peanut-Worship" photos that I've taken after the show, but I'm reluctant to display them.
Thom from MINN happened to be in LA during CWC LIVE. He writes: "...Loved the live show in L.A. on Saturday! I converted my friend who lives in L.A. - he'll be sending you pictures of his golden retriever and yellow lab soon. And I also introduced two nice young women who were seeing the show in the theater next door while we were all waiting outside. We showed them the robot cat episode on my friends iPhone, and they promised to go your show next week!"
Sarah from OHIO writes: "...Dear Chris (not Donna), thanks again for playing live last month in Toronto. My husband and I drove 6 hours from Akron, Ohio to see you perform. Your show was fantastic. If you ever make it out this way again, we will be sure to be there. Attached is a picture of me in front of your sign... I really liked how you got into this by buying some old photos that people got rid of... CLICK FOR THE REST OF SARAH'S PICS.
Mary from TORONTO writes:'...Hey Chris (or Donna), This is Mary, a 25-teen fan from Toronto, Canada. I caught your shows when you were up here a few weeks ago. My friend had turned me on to your hilarious views of cuteness the night before the show and I was hooked just like that *snaps fingers* This week I'm taking a trip to Burbank California and I'm gonna be meeting a friend of mine that I haven't seen in 9 or 10 years. I'm gonna be bringing her to your show this Friday night (Nov 21) and I would totally love it if my babydog LUCKY would flash up on the screen that night."
