After starring in BBC Two's multi award winning comedy 'The Thick of It', for which he received a British Comedy Award nomination for Best Newcomer, 2009 saw Chris making his big screen debut alongside James Gandolfini. 'In the Loop' is an exciting, fast paced political comedy that looks at what happens when the people in power realise their careers are on the line.
Increasingly well known on camera, Chris's talent also extends behind the scenes, as he is an established writer who has written and starred in his own sitcom, Lab Rats, for BBC Two, and has written two novels: Cautionary Tales for Grown-Ups and It wasn't Me. His further television writing credits include: Harry Hill's TV Burp (ITV1) and TFI Friday (Channel 4).
Chris has also enjoyed critical acclaim as one third of comedy show The Department (BBC Radio 4) and for his radio show The Ape That Got Lucky (BBC Radio 4), which won a Sony Radio Academy Award in 2006. Chris has also appeared on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and regularly on Have I Got News For You.
As a stand up, Chris is renowned for his versatility, pacy, energetic routines and faultless delivery. Both his 2004 and 2005 solo Edinburgh shows sold out, and were nominated for the prestigious Perrier Award.
In 2010 Chris began hosting 7 Day Sunday on BBC Radio 5 live with fellow comedians Andy Zaltzman and Sarah Millican.
