Chris Purchase

Since 2009 Chris has been making people laugh, this time it was on purpose and clothed.

During this time he has started and run his own weekly comedy club, supported Andi Osho, Russell Kane, Adam Bloom, Shappi Khorsandi, Joel Dommett, Nick Helm, Tony Law, Sean Hughes, Stewart Francis and Omid Djalili, been one half of a successful radio show and one quarter of two sell out Edinburgh Fringe shows.

Currently you can see him performing with TED Talent, Jongleurs, CKP, Lastminute Comedy, House of Standup, Mirth Control, Cloud Comedy, Castle Comedy, Crack Comedy plus many others.

If Chris could have one wish it would be to swim with the dolphins and if he could have two wishes it would be to go to Alton towers and not have to sit in a specially constructed chair designed to embarass larger people. And he'd also like a monkey. In fact he'd prefer the monkey to the dolphins, forget about the dolphins who mentioned them anyway?
