Following a five-month sold-out UK tour, star of BBC Two’s sitcom Hebburn and Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee, CHRIS RAMSEY returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this August for nine performances only of his critically-acclaimed stand-up show Chris Ramsey: The Most Dangerous Man on Saturday Morning Television.
Following his fringe run, CHRIS will extend his nationwide tour by a further 35 dates into the autumn. Tickets are available to buy from www.chrisramseycomedy.com.
After being thrown off Soccer AM (Sky) for what he thought was an innocuous comment, CHRIS RAMSEY started to wonder whether he might actually be ‘the most dangerous man on Saturday morning television’. He discovers what happens when you say the wrong thing in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Last year CHRIS RAMSEY starred as Jack in the second series of critically-acclaimed sitcom Hebburn, co-starring VIC REEVES on BBC Two which peaked at over 2 million viewers. CHRIS piloted his own show for the BBC with Avalon Television about the world of social media and now has over 278,000 followers on Twitter. He has appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Mock the Week (both BBC Two), Celebrity Mastermind (BBC One), 8 Out of 10 Cats (Channel 4) and is a regular on Celebrity Juice (ITV2) and Virtually Famous (E4).
A full list of dates is below.
