“He’s brilliant. No question.” The Times

As a stand up Chris is regarded as one of the most versatile comics on the circuit with his pacy, energetic routines and faultless delivery. A top class purveyor of smart-arse daftness, whimsy, perspiration, lies and jokes, he has charmed both audiences and critics alike with his particularly polite brand of observational comedy.

Both his 2004 and 2005 solo Edinburgh shows sold out and were nominated for the prestigious Perrier Award and Chris' radio show The Ape That Got Lucky (BBC Radio 4) won a Sony Radio Academy award in 2006. Chris hasn't been on tour since headlining Edinburgh and Beyond Live in 2006 following two nationwide tours of Atomicty and Civilization. He's been busy working on In the Loop, a new political film directed by Armando Innuci, Banter (BBC Radio4), The Department (BBC Radio4) and Have I Got News For You (BBC1) but is now back doing what he does best.
