A uniquely talented performer in comedy and magic, Claudio De Negri began his career as a surveying engineer before following his true passion—entertainment. He first made a name for himself by mastering the art of pickpocketing (as a performance, of course). This expertise even led to a collaboration with the Swiss police, helping to educate the public on how to avoid becoming victims of real pickpockets.
Along the way, Claudio dedicated himself to learning multiple languages, and by the age of 30, the "little Swiss" found himself performing for some of the world’s most prestigious cruise lines. Expanding his repertoire, he developed a ventriloquist act in five languages, allowing him to connect with audiences across the globe.
His curiosity and passion for the art of illusion led him to hypnosis, a skill that earned him a coveted spot touring with the renowned French circus Arlette Gruss in 2017—making history as the first hypnotist ever to perform in the circus.
Pickpocketing, magic, ventriloquism, hypnosis—Claudio De Negri is a true Swiss Army knife of comedy. And tonight, what blade will he reveal? Whatever it is, one thing is certain—it will leave you laughing, amazed, and thoroughly entertained.
