EDITORS:        Colleen Ballinger is a classically trained singer and actress that is best known for her wildly popular youtube character, Miranda Sings. The character is a satire of common YouTube videos featuring mediocre or even bad singers who film themselves singing as a form of self-promotion. Miranda Sings comically off-key, and, when confronted by viewers who take the videos seriously, uses the catchphrase "Haters back off!". Ms. Ballinger's character has enjoyed worldwide popularity with over 5 million views on youtube, and has recently appeared as Miranda Sings at theater venues in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, and Australia. Special guests have included the Broadway casts of Mamma Mia, Billy Elliott, Bye Bye Birdie, Rock of Ages, Ann Hampton Callaway, Shoshana Bean, Daniel Reichard, Seth Rudetsky, Christopher Sieber, and Scott Alan.

Chris Ballinger has been performing magic professionally for over 15 years.  Currently, he is the head of Media for www.Magicgeek.com, where he has produced over 600 magic demonstrational videos that can be viewed on the website and on Youtube. He released three magic tricks last year, Permanent, Anttack!, and The Shark. Through Magic Geek, Chris wrote, directed and edited six instructional DVDs on juggling, including The Ultimate Juggling DVD, featuring himself. Chris is currently working on the DVD for the latest Paul Harris trick, Little Man, as well as new projects of his own.
