The man behind the magic
About Uncle Chris
Over 30 years of experience, a live magic rabbit called Snowy, and a genuine love of making children laugh. Here's the story.
Meet Uncle Chris
Uncle Chris has been entertaining children across Greater Manchester and the North West for over 30 years. What started as a passion for magic and performance has grown into a full-time career making children's parties, school events and family occasions genuinely memorable.
He spent 20 years as a resident children's entertainer for Butlin's, including 11 years at the Skegness resort - an experience that sharpened his skills in front of every kind of audience imaginable. There's very little a room full of excited children can throw at Uncle Chris that he hasn't seen before.
His show is fully self-contained. He arrives with his own sound system, his props, his puppets, Snowy the live magic rabbit, and everything else needed to put on a brilliant show. You don't need to organise a thing on the entertainment front - just let him know the details and he'll take care of the rest.
He travels all across the North West in his trusty magic car - Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Warrington, Cheadle, Altrincham, Sale, Chester, Southport, Liverpool, Blackpool and everywhere in between.
