The world is a scary place, so here’s some normal good observational comedy for people
who wake up screaming sometimes. Christopher Macarthur-Boyd has jokes on everything:
zoos, going for a walk, and the collapse of the British state. Everything’s more expensive,
everything’s slightly worse, the future is not bright – we are living in scary times.

Christopher was the host of an episode of the BBC New Comedy Award 2022 alongside
Josie Long and Fern Brady. He also wrote for Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats Does
Countdown and Dave’s Late Night Mash. He is a constant presence on BBC Scotland
according to people who approach him in the street, featuring on Edinburgh Unlocked,
Breaking The News, and Ooh The Banter! as part of the channel’s Hogmanay coverage.
He was also featured as part of Channel 4’s digital comedy series Jokes Only A… Can
Tell.
