Chris Martin is one of the most exciting acts to hit the comedy circuit. His wholly original social commentary, observations and anecdotes are his trade mark. He brings intelligent material as well as simple immature jokes to the occasion.
Chris has played The Comedy Box on many occasions as either a compere or support act. Now he makes his debut headline apppearances since wowing the press with his first solo show at the Edinburgh Fringe last summer.
He has started popping up on various "list" shows on BBC3, Channel 4 and Channel 5 and has recently broken into doing warm-ups for TV shows. Chris Martin is definitely a name to look out for in the future, and no, we are not referring to the lead singer of Coldplay either!
