It was announced today that critically acclaimed stand-up comedian Chris Ramsey is gifting his fans with a free online release of his 2017 tour ‘Is That…Chris Ramsey?’ Recorded in front of a home crowd at Newcastle’s Metro Arena, Chris brings his trademark high-energy delivery, hugely engaging manner and off-the-cuff style to the unexpected challenges of new fatherhood, remaining a child at heart, and being wrongly arrested by a crack police squad while still in his underpants.
A February freebie from the host of the brand new series of The Chris Ramsey Show – Comedy Central’s first ever topical chat show, ‘Is That…Chris Ramsey?’ will be available on YouTube now and can be viewed here – https://youtu.be/3xeqY2Jf4XI
Chris declared, “It was an absolute dream to be the first North East comic to play Newcastle Arena. I wanted it to be filmed so I could have it playing in my house on a loop forever and drive my family insane, but someone suggested putting it on YouTube too.”
Away from the stage, Chris has also appeared on TV hosting Stand Up Central (Comedy Central), I’m a Celebrity: Extra Camp (ITV2) and Virtually Famous (E4), as well as performing on the Royal Variety Performance (ITV), Live at the Apollo (BBC1) and as a regular on Celebrity Juice (ITV2). He also starred as Jack in two series of critically-acclaimed sitcom Hebburn (BBC2), co-starring Vic Reeves and more recently alongside his wife Rosie on Married to a Celebrity and Parenting for Idiots (Channel 4). Chris will be playing 52 dates nationwide later this year with his brand new tour – Chris Ramsey Live 2018: The Just Happy To Get Out of the House Tour. Dates are listed on www.chrisramseycomedy.com
