Chris Addison

Fresh from the latest critically acclaimed series of The Thick Of It and Oscar-nominated film In The Loop, Chris Addison returns to the stand up that made his name and promises his trademark mix of daftness, whimsy, jokes, lies, smartarsery, and flapping about.

Chris says: “I’m really excited to be going back out on the road. I’ve got a packet of Werther’s Originals in the glovebox, a voucher for 20p off any non-meat Ginsters product purchased at Welcome Break service stations before the end of October, a flask of Bovril and a whole bunch of new jokes and stories. Now if I can just work out how to get this Sat Nav to stop giving instructions in Danish I’ll be all set.”

As well as The Thick Of It, CHRIS is familiar to TV audiences from his appearances on shows like Live at the Apollo (BBC ONE), Have I Got News For You (BBC ONE) and Mock The Week (BBC TWO).

What the press has said about Chris Addison:

“He’s brilliant. No question.”
Dominic Maxwell, The Times

“Downright hilarious. His stories reduced a packed
crowd to tears of helpless laughter.”
Stephen Armstrong, The Sunday Times

“Superlative, intelligent comedy.”
Mark Monahan, The Daily Telegraph

“A fantastic show. Flawless.”
Julian Hall, The Independent

Lee Nelson’s Well Good Tour

If u is reading this then u is an idiot coz u don’t have to!
If u is still reading this my name is Lee Nelson and I’m a massive legend. I live in London and I done a TV show on BBC called Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show.
Over 500 million people watched it and it was such a success that I banged 62 birds. Since then I’ve been doin some relaxing and going out.
If u didn’t see the series then I’m sure someone from China will sell u a copy.
Now I’m travellin around the UK doin live shows in places I ain’t never heard of.
It’s full of stuff that was too funny for TV and it’s for people out of London who don’t have TVs.
My best mate Omelette (he done the BBC show with me) was going to be travellin with me but he couldn’t make it coz he was too fat to get on the train.
What a legend.
