His favorite act is pickpocketing, and his favorite food is Prime Rib with an extra large side of potatoes.

What People Are Saying About James Chan

"The highlight of the show was definitely Dan's boy, James. It is that cute father-son act I tell you. He did great in the actual show, especially at the end but I don't want to ruin the surprise. I still don't get it and I probably never will. Yay for little James!" Amy H. 9/15/2015 Yelp Review for Bay Area's Most Popular Dinner Show

"I love watching James on stage." Jeff Raz, Cirque du Soleil Casting Partner
