"Following a series of impressive performances at the 2019 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and being cancelled from his London shows for using 'Un-PC language'
This show was ‘banned’ from the Soho Theatre in London.
But although it won plaudits both there and at the Edinburgh Fringe, plans for a return run have been cancelled over fears about the language used.
Chris has gone on to sell out the prestigious Backyard Comedy Club in London and now he is back in TEESSIDE!!
The Teesside stand-up – who describes himself as an ‘anti-PC, pro-free speech, working-class comedian’ – had successfully performed Forgiveness to rave reviews all over the country and now he is back home.

Funny and provocative: a masterful blend of heart wrenching tragedy and its sublimation into cathartic release through laughter - the most divine pressure release valve.

Absolutely top drawer performance from Chris! Fits of laughter, shed a few tears, really gut wrenching at times but Chris has a knack of taking you on a roller coaster journey of emotions that would soften even the hardiest of souls. Cannot wait to see him.perform it again in Redcar hopefully. Great intimate venue with a cracking warn up routine from Matt. 5* Ja Reed Redcar

Best comedy night I've ever experienced. Thought provoking, funny and emotional. I'll be honest I shed a tear on my way home thinking of what you've been through. Only one tear mind you, the rest of my journey home was spent laughing heartily at the way in which you got your story across. Unbelievable tekkers to be able make something so solemn and sad so outrageously funny.
