Pirates Pursuit - Chair Stacking Act

You can expect a polished, high-impact circus feature act that blends elite skill with clear storytelling and playful audience connection. My specialty is hand balancing and chair stacking—performed with strong pacing that builds suspense and lands cleanly in real-world event environments (ballrooms, stages, outdoor plazas, etc.).

Typical booking flow:
- Quick pre-event call/message to confirm run-of-show, space, and sound
- I arrive early to load in, walk the space, and set safely
- Performance options include a single featured act or multiple shorter sets
- Family-friendly by default (can be tailored to the room)

If you want something themed (elegant, comedic, bold, “circus premium”), I can adjust the presentation to match your event.

Cole Bennington is a San Diego–based contemporary circus performer specializing in high-skill hand balancing, dynamic chair stacking, and character-driven comedy. His acts blend precision, suspense, and playful audience connection, built to land in corporate events, private parties, festivals, and theater stages alike.

Whether you want a high-impact featured act or a polished show moment that ties into your event’s theme, Cole delivers professional, crowd-pleasing circus that reads clearly from up close and from across a ballroom.

Performance style: Visual, high-skill, and easy to understand from any distance; light audience interaction available (never awkward, always opt-in).

Music: I can perform to a pre-set music track or coordinate with your DJ/AV team.

Sound: If your event has a DJ/sound system, I can plug in and run my track. If not, I can perform without amplification in many environments.

Safety-first: I only perform when the floor, spacing, and conditions are appropriate. If anything is unsafe (slick floor, slope, wind, crowd too close), I’ll adjust the act to keep the show strong and the environment safe.

Ideal placement in program: Great as a featured “wow moment” during dinner transitions, after speeches, or as a centerpiece act before dancing/open networking.
