He's blind. He's a dad. He's a husband. That's just the half of it.
Star of Live at the Apollo and Comedy Central at The Comedy Store, multi-award-winning comedian Chris McCausland is bringing his smash hit Edinburgh Fringe show, Speaky Blinder to Swindon Arts Centre 2 June.
From hilarious tales of the marathon birth from hell that Chris and his wife thought would never end, and their experience of having to pay actual money to a mad lactation consultant (yes that's a real job), to the numerous and inevitable conflicts that arise when a pasty white Scouser is married to a hot-blooded Brazilian woman, Speaky Blinder delivers more razor-sharp observations from one of the circuit’s best-loved and most prolific stand ups.
Chris also gives an insight into life and parenthood in the dark, from his inevitable shortcomings as a husband who can't do his share of the driving to the total farce of playing hide and seek when you can't see where to hide or even where to do the bloody seeking!
A proper stand-up show with a real unique perspective on life and relationships, Speaky Blinder will definitely leave you thinking as well as laughing!
