Here’s a sample of his stand-up…
Chris gave up the day job as an electrician to pursue his calling in comedy and emerged onto the Irish comedy scene in 2009 after winning the Bulmers Nuttin’ But Funny competition.
He quickly established himself on the Irish circuit and became sought out to open for some of his favourite acts, including Dylan Moran, David O’ Doherty, PJ Gallagher and Neil Delamare to name but a few.
He has appeared on RTE Radio 1’s comedy panel show The Second Republic, alongside PJ Gallagher and Neil Delamare. The Craig Doyle Show and Conor’s Dad in the hit series The Young Offenders.
In the UK, he has appeared on Russell Howard’s Stand Up Central for Comedy Central. Chris was chosen to support Bill Burr in Vicar Street, on his only Irish date back in 2013. He is now based in London with his partner and young son and his new show has material inspired by juggling life being a stay at home dad and doing stand-up. It’s bound to be a great night so get to the Blasket.
