Comedy Live! at Alexander’s in Chester will be headlined by Chris Turner on Saturday, July 4.
Chris’s sharply written gags, assured stage presence and blisteringly quick improvised raps have established him as one of the best up-and-coming comics on the international circuit, performing in the UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand.
His keen wit and intelligent wordplay have seen him rack up more than 1.8 million views on YouTube, headline for a million Dutch comedy fans on RTL4’s flagship stand up show, The Comedy Factory, appear live on BBC Radio 2 and 6Music and perform sold-out runs at festivals worldwide.
In 2014, his debut show Pretty Fly won the Amused Moose People’s Choice award for best show at the Edinburgh Fringe, with many of his jokes featuring in Best Jokes of the Fringe lists in national newspapers. His new show for 2015, XXV, has already toured to Perth Fringe World, where it was nominated for Best Comedy.
As both a comic and improviser, Chris has showcased his jokes and freestyle rap skills in the UK corporate market, performing for Chelsea FC, HP, NEC, The Royal Air Force, The Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, The UK Mortgage Senate, along with various smaller organisations.
He is a founding member of Racing Minds, one of the UK’s most respected improv troupes, with five sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe performing Aaaand Now For Something Completely Improvised and 500,000+ Soundcloud subscribers to their 50s style radio comedy The Wireless Podcast.
