Cutting-edge comedian also a chainsaw juggler


There are some things every person needs to see in their lifetime.

A chainsaw juggler is one such thing.

When that chainsaw juggler is also a comedian, it will be hard to find any show to top that.

Campus Attractions presents Mad Chad Taylor, a comedian and stunt performer. Known for such stunts as juggling started chainsaws, lighting his fingers on fire and catching a 15-pound anvil on his head. This may sound crazy to some, but they don’t call him Mad Chad for nothing.

“ It’s amazing how many people want to watch you do something stupid,” Mad Chad said.

Chad grew up in Santa Monica, Calif., where he loved to skateboard. Still to this day Chad loves to skateboard, but his skateboard is now equipped with an alarm, a cell phone and a pager.

Mad Chad has performed on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” NBC’s “World’s Most Dangerous Acts,” “America’s Funniest People” and many other television shows in Japan, Germany and Spain.

The crazy antic, insane stunts and hilarious comedy is sure to make this a memorable show for anyone.

“ Who knows,” Mad Chad said, “you might even get to see me chop off a limb.”

The performance is set for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Festival Concert Hall.
