The world is a scary place, so here’s some normal good observational comedy for people who wake up screaming sometimes. Christopher Macarthur-Boyd has jokes on everything: zoos, going for a walk, and the collapse of the British state. Everything’s more expensive, everything’s slightly worse, the future is not bright - we are living in scary times.

He also wrote for Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and Dave’s Late Night Mash. He is a constant presence on BBC Scotland according to people who approach him in the street, featuring on Edinburgh Unlocked, Breaking The News, and Ooh The Banter! as part of the channel’s Hogmanay coverage. He was also featured as part of Channel 4’s digital comedy series Jokes Only A… Can Tell.
Christopher has been live support across the U.K. for the likes of Frankie Boyle, Susie McCabe, Jason Manford, Russell Kane, Shane Todd, Shane Gillis, Victor Patrascan, Ellie Taylor, Dane Baptiste, Marc Jennings, Colin Hoult, Chris Ramsay, Jack Dee, Des Clarke, and Abandoman.
