Chris Ramsey’s brand new stand-up special, Live From London will premiere exclusively on Sky Comedy/NOW from September 18th. Recorded at the iconic Royal Court Theatre in London, the show will see the award-winning comedian hilariously lift the curtain on his domestic frustrations and flawed attempts to be a good parent, as well as reveal his total humiliation at home and behind the scenes on Strictly.
As well as being a hugely successful stand-up, Chris is known for memorably coming second on Taskmaster; being a popular semi-finalist of Strictly Come Dancing; co-hosting Children In Need four years in a row; co-hosting popular quiz show Pointless; hosting BBC One’s prime time Little Mix: The Search; and regularly guest hosting The One Show.
Chris and his wife Rosie are probably best known for creating Sh**ged. Married. Annoyed., the original and genre-creating relationship podcast. An immediate hit the show has seen over 185 million downloads to date, spawned a Sunday Times #1 bestselling book and broken a Guinness World Record for the biggest live podcast show (at London’s O2 Arena). Nothing short of a phenomenon, the podcast has won wide critical acclaim, sold out two UK arena tours, as well as picking up multiple awards including back-to-back National Comedy Awards for Best Podcast (2023 and 2022), a Global Award for Best Podcast and the Listeners’ Choice Award at the British Podcast Awards. Always featuring in the lists of most successful podcasts across Europe, recently Sh**ged. Married. Annoyed. was named the third most popular podcast in the UK by the most recent Edison Podcast Metrics UK chart, which independently ranks UK podcast listening every quarter. The couple also saw the second series of their hit BBC chat show, The Chris and Rosie Ramsey Show, promoted from BBC Two to BBC One for the second series. The show received wide critical acclaim and was nominated by the public for both a National Television Award and a National Comedy Award. The couple have appeared on the much-loved CBeebies Bedtime Stories twice and this September release their first Children’s book, There’s a Poonami in my House.
