- Chris Cox (born January 21, 1984 in Bristol) is an award winning, self-proclaimed mind reader who can't read minds. He is also the producer for Matt Edmondson on BBC Radio 1; prior to this he was the assistant producer on The Chris Moyles Show. Cox performed his first full show entitled Chris Cox He Can't Read Minds? at the 2006 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Cox's second show, Everything Happens For A Reason ran at the Gilded Balloon during the 2007 Fringe before a one off performance at the Arts Theatre in London's West End. His show Chris Cox : Control Freak premiered at the 2008 Edinburgh Festival Fringe at the Pleasance after which it had a UK Tour and finished with a performance at the Southbank Centre in London. He also performed with Frank Skinner in his Credit Crunch Cabaret and featured on the television programmes The Culture Show and The Mentalist Revealed. In 2009, he travelled to Los Angeles and Cancun to write material for his new show. The show, entitled "Chris Cox : Mind Over Patter", was premiered at the King Dome of the Pleasance during August 2009. It was met with 5 star reviews and gained Cox the Fest Buzz Twitter Of The Year Award. Cox took highlights of the show to the Royal Opera House for a weekend of shows in September 2009. During the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe, he took part in Mark Watson's 24 Hour Show performing various mind-reading stunts including the prediction of Simon Amstell's choice of date in Blind Date. While at the Edinburgh Fringe, he also played the role of Eric Randolf in the Fringe First award winning The Hotel. Mind Over Patter went on to tour the UK in Spring 2010 before an extended, sell-out run at the 2010 New Zealand Comedy Festival. Cox performed at The Herald Theatre and read the mind of Rove McManus as part of the televised gala. He will be performing a final version of the show at the Udderbelly in London's Southbank Centre in May 2011 before replacing the show with a new one for the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The 2011 show for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival was called "Fatal Distraction. " The show weaved a love based narrative around never seen before mind-reading stunts. It gained a collection of five star reviews before embarking on a nationwide tour. Fatal Distraction won the 2011 Venue Magazine award for Best Comedy Show, beating Daniel Kitson (3rd) & The Bath Comedy Festival (2nd.). The show toured as part of the New Zealand Comedy Festival in Auckland & Wellington in 2012 picking up rave reviews. It will once again return to the Udderbelly in London in Spring 2012. In April 2012 it was announced that Cox is developing a television show with SyFy with the working title of The Chris Cox Project. . Cox performed as part of Robin Ince & Friends at the 2009 TAM London event and again at TAM 2010 supporting his friend Tim Minchin. He appeared as part of Dick & Dom's Funny Business on BBC Two in February 2011. He produced a documentary on Minchin for BBC Radio 1 in December 2011. The Guardian has called him "One of the most exciting entertainers in Britain" and Time Out says he "does tricks that would make Jesus proud". Colin Murray was the co-director of his early stage shows, and was once a flatmate of Cox.
