who has amassed over one million views across YouTube and
Instagram. Since beginning his comedy career in 2022, he has
performed more than 300 shows across the UK, building a reputation
for high-energy, crowd-pleasing performances.
Blending sharp wit with infectious charm, Chris delivers comedy
that is both observational and introspective. He draws on his
experiences growing up as a strict Jehovah’s Witness and working as
an AE nurse in central London, offering audiences a unique and
deeply relatable perspective.
Often
described as the “gay best friend you always wanted” and
“impossible not to like,” his warmth and authenticity are central
to his appeal.

summer 2024, Chris enjoyed a successful run at the Edinburgh and
Cambridge Fringe Festivals with his split-bill show Bent Double. Summer
2026 sees Chris appearing at multiple fringe festivals across the
UK and Europe.
Don’t

phenomenon and the perfect way to spend a Sunday evening to round
off the month. Let’s go!
