World Champion trick roper Chris McDaniel brings the charm of the Wild

West everywhere he roams. And finally, he’s bringing it back to Southwest

Louisiana where he was born and raised. After attending school in

DeQuincy, he graduated from DeRidder High School and Louisiana

College. This 2-time world record holder for bullwhips has used his special

skills, comedy, and cowboy songs to wrangle up a great time for audiences

across the US and internationally from Bali to Moscow. Chris is a frequent

guest performer at 5-star resorts in Mexico and in the showrooms of

Carnival Cruise ships. This consummate showman has also been seen on

CBS’ The Late Show With David Letterman, on NBC with Neil Patrick

Harris and Reba McEntire on “Best Time Ever” and then again on Steve

Harvey’s Little Big Shots: Forever Young. He’s done Broadway national

tours “Annie Get Your Gun” and “The Will Rogers Follies." His original one-

man show "Ropes, Whips, and Songs About Cows" debuted to rave

reviews Off Broadway. He has been named one of the top Wild West Arts

entertainers in the world and his contributions to the variety arts won him

the Historical Circus Society's Candlelight Award.
