Chris Neill is a writer and comedian, working on stage, audio, and television.
His most recent project is his BBC Radio 4 series Woof, which is currently on its third season. For nearly a decade he was a regular panellist on Just A Minute and also had a starring role as the live-in builder, Chris, in the seminal and much-loved sitcom Linda Smith’s A Brief History Of Timewasting. For television, he has scripted episodes for a variety of children’s animated series, and provided voices for some of them too. As a columnist, his work has been published by The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Spectator and Sunday Express.
He has presented five solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe; Does it with Strangers (2002), The BBC, Andrew Gilligan, and Me (2004), Middle Class Misery- The Board Game (2005), Everybody Hates Chris (Neill) (2006), and Chris Neill’s Got a Bun in the Oven (2008). His stand-up shows have been Critics’ Choice in The Guardian, The Times, The Daily Telegraph, Time Out, and the Evening Standard.
“Blissfully well written, Neill may be first and foremost a comedian, but his observations are as acute as any novelist’s. Sweet, sharp and very funny.”
The Times
“An expert storyteller with split-second comic timing. Both acidic and disarmingly sweet, he has an immaculate turn of phrase.”
Independent on Sunday
“A polished raconteur, Neill’s schtick is punctuated with classic lines.”
