With a hilarious and erudite turn of phrase, award-winning comic Chris Stokes plays on social misconceptions, dismantling them both on stage and on the page via gag-packed firsthand anecdotes, told with a charming and offbeat sincerity. Performing professionally since 2009, he has supported the likes of Milton Jones and Pete Firman on UK tours, shown up on Dave’s One Night Stand and taken four critically acclaimed solo shows to the Edinburgh Fringe.
“I’ve always liked comedy, who hasn’t? I’m not sure I’ve really met anyone who has flat out said they don’t enjoy laughing,” Chris told Vegan Life. “So, I’ve always loved it as a thing but I don’t think I really appreciated it for the art form it can be until I was in my late teens. That was when I discovered things which really resonated beyond just the primary instinct to laugh and I realised how broad a church it was.
