MAD CHAD TAYLOR “THE EVIL KNIEVEL OF COMEDY”
There’s only one thing more entertaining than a madman juggling roaring
chain saws, and that’s when he drops one. Put on your safety goggles
and move back four rows, because here’s Mad Chad Taylor, the Evil
Knievel of Comedy.
A twisted product of Dogtown, USA, Mad Chad got his start juggling at
age 13 on the Venice Beach Boardwalk. Since then, Mad Chad’s ridden
his skateboard of death to stardom, performing his highly participatory
brand of comedy in 49 of 50 states. Get with the program, Georgia!
This Guinness World Record holder has juggled everything from working
video cameras to a bowling ball that he can catch with his head.
Tickling and terrifying audiences from Berlin to Tokyo, He has cut it
up on every imaginable variety show, from “The Tonight Show with Jay
Leno” to “Last Call with Carson Daily” to “The Donny and Marie Show,”
where he kept himself from falling off his unicycle by leaning on Marie
Osmond’s hair. “Good thing I wasn’t juggling a baseball bat at the
time,” he says.
Mad Chad’s so unforgettable Sam Raimi gave him a role in “Spider-Man
III.” He’s so good he taught Dustin Hoffman to juggle for “Mr.
Magorium’s Wonder Emporium.” And he’s so powerful not even three
100,000 volt stun guns can stop him.
Whether he’s performing his hilarious 90-minute show to sold-out crowds
at performing arts centers, imploring boisterous college audiences to
throw knives responsibly, or teaching Fortune 500 executives at
companies like AT&T and Nissan to multitask using heavy-duty logging
tools, Mad Chad Taylor may be the most dangerous man in comedy,
particularly if you sit too close. Then again, those tend to be the
really expensive seats.
“Because,” Mad Chad Taylor says, “if you really want people to put two
hands together, you gotta be willing to risk one of your own!”
