Carnival of Chaos Comedy Productions presents "Survival Tips For The Reckless". A tongue in cheek, semi-autobiographical examination of how two professional goofballs attempt to deal with the onslaught of life and the curveballs it throws. What do you get when you combine the fiery feminine presence of a gifted singer/song writer/comedian with a world class juggler who holds a master degree in psychology? A wickedly funny, intelligent show about adapting to life's changing moments with live music, sketch comedy and dangerous stunts. All designed to unravel the mysteries of surviving yourself. "It's Saturday Night Live meets the X-Games!" Marin Independent Journal "..they're funny, go see them!" San Francisco Chronicle

CARNIVAL OF CHAOS COMEDY PRODUCTIONS
(DIRECTOR AND PERFORMER BIO'S)

C0-DIRECTOR/PERFOMRER BIO
AKA "Dre" - "Red" - "Chaos Kitty"
ANDREA TERRY, currently co-director of "Carnival of Chaos Comedy Productions"embodies the concept of 'Extreme Vaudeville'. More than just a beautiful face, she is an accomplished singer/songwriter/musician AND a comedian/juggler/stiltwalker/dancer. Andrea has performed, toured and recorded as the front person for San Francisco based original ensemble music groups "Bones Hotel", "Blue Circus" and "Chaos Orchestra".


As co-director of Carnival of Chaos, she writes/performs in collaborative theater ensembles and a duo vaudeville comedy act for corporate, special events, theatres and festivals. Refusing to give up on the next generation, she co-founded, writes and performs assembly programs for students with the "School of Laughs" educational programs.


Andrea has always subscribed to the philosophy that 'to act insane in an insane world, is perfectly sane.' With this guiding mantra, her music and theater background brought her to the San Francisco Art Institute in 1992 where she learned just how important it is "to look cool." While practicing this precarious art form, she somehow managed to obtain the Eastman Award and her degree in filmmaking from the SF Art Institute. Following her graduation from film school, she continues to collaborate/perform in musical and theatrical venues as well as films. She has wrote several film scores to her credit and has recorded soundtracks for the independent films "Conceiving Ada", "Get Over It" and "The Joys Of Smoking.


Her hilarious work in the duo comedy act inspires comparisons to "Sony and Cher" and "The Smothers Brothers". As current creative and musical director of Carnival of Chaos Theater Shows, Andrea combines originals and standards in a unique 'cabaret noir' flair, Tom Waits meets Edith Piaf. This talented feminine powerhouse has performed world wide - well, maybe not Antartica ... but just about everywhere else!

CO-DIRECTOR/PERFORMER BIO
MARK BUNNELL is a multi-talented comedian who has been causing a ruckus all over the world for years. He began his illustrious performance career as a prop comic, street performing thoughout Europe and local haunts like Pier 39. He is currently founding member/co-director/performer of "Carnival of Chaos Comedy Productions" performing collaborative ensemble theatre productions and duo comedy shows. In an attempt to justify his student loans, Mark has brilliantly integrated his graduate degree in counseling by writing/performing motivational comedy shows for adults and educational comedy programs for kids. Known as the "School of Laughs" this duo act performs all over the United States. Yes, the funny boy is busy.


It was bumpy road to stardom for 'ol Mark. He couldn't wait for success, so he started without it! Upon returning from performing a duo comedy act throughout Europe, he finished up his graduate degree in counseling from Sonoma State University . After three fabulous years of practicing family therapy and generously sharing his own twisted view of reality, Mark decided there was not much difference between psychotherapy and addressing hecklers in a crowd........at least for Mark. So he returned to the life of vaudeville, the collective unconscious breathed a sigh of relief….. A PROP COMIC WAS RE--BORN!!!!


Armed with clinical insight, insane circus skills and false bravado he began performing once again throughout Europe and the United States. Comedy clubs, music festivals, fairs and corporate events embraced his comic stylings and technical skills. Merging forces with the musical and comic genius of Andrea Terry, they formed the "CARNIVAL OF CHAOS COMEDY SHOWS" and "SCHOOL OF LAUGHS" and became the envy of the entire galaxy. Fueled by a burning desire to avoid a real job, he celebrates his twentieth anniversary of being a professional goofball!
