Held in high esteem by the national media and recognisable from BBC’s Unrapped with Maranda Hart, BBC’s Me Too!, Comedy Central‘s most recent two series of The Comedy Store, and ITV’s Stand-up Hero – award-winning comedian Chris McCausland performs both nationally at all of the country’s major comedy clubs, and internationally as far afield as Asia and the Middle East.
Last year he was awarded the Cultural Diversity Award for comedy by Channel Four, The BBC and Sky TV and subsequently performed at the Royal Opera House to all of the countries major broadcasters. His 2010 Edinburgh show was a huge success and has led to a number of his ideas being in development with broadcasters.
Chris is the only professional comedian in the UK and probably even the world who is blind. This only serves to make his particular brand of observational comedy all the more unique as he chooses to talk about his disability only moderately; instead, priding himself on the variety and originality of his material.
The press…
“Truly brilliant observational humour… One of the funniest stand-ups I have seen in recent years”
– Three Weeks.
“McCausland will be huge in the very near future!”
-one4Review.com.
“He has a wit so dry he’d make Death Valley look positively verdant. He has an engaging personality that never threatens us and makes the humour a delight to listen to and finally he has the greatest gift any comedian can have: timing. He delivers his punchlines with all the precision of a Stealth Bomber… McCausland is the genuine article, a comedian with a true talent!”
– The Edinburgh Guide
“A must see!”
– The Times
“McCausland takes you in gently and while he distracts you with some really good off-the-cuff-stuff, you do not even notice that he has you in his palm for the unexpected whirlwind of his exhilarating wrap up routine. Pure joy.”
– The Stage
