COMEDIAN Chris McCausland is coming to Didcot next year with his “Speaky Blinder” tour.

The “rapidly rising comedy star” will be at the Cornerstone Arts Centre in Station Road on September 30 and October 1.

The show is about Mr McCausland’s life and family with loads of other “nonsense thrown in for good measure”.

Following his debut appearance on Live at the Apollo in 2018, McCausland has become a regular face on television with multiple appearances across such flagship comedy programmes as Have I Got News for You, Would I Lie to You?, QI, The Last Leg and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.

He has appeared on Live at the Apollo three times, and his third, latest appearance was hosting the renowned stand-up show.

Mr McCausland also recently made his debut appearance on none other than the Royal Variety Performance, which aired in December, as well as on celebrity editions of favourites such as Mastermind, The Chase, Antiques Road Trip and Blankety Blank.

Originally from Liverpool, the comedian has spent almost two decades travelling the country performing stand-up comedy and has long been firmly established at the very top of the UK’s live comedy circuit. 

He is blind due to a degenerative eye disorder called Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), which caused him to lose his sight gradually throughout the first 20 or so years of his life.
