Christian Reilly

We are very excited to introduce something a little different to our Lichfield Arts audience. Chris's first comedy break came in 1999 when he played Orson Carson in the Perrier-awarded 'Rich Hall is Otis Lee Crenshaw' which toured for four years. In the gaps between, he worked on his own material and in 2003 did a BBC radio show with the hugely-talented Richard Herring, called "That Was Then, This Is Now". Chris has since gone on to use his accomplished musicianship, extensive vocal range and love of music to establish himself as a global comedy circuit headliner; at international festivals and on BBC radio and TV. His most recent Edinburgh show was the acclaimed "Lost in Music". Put your hands together and give a warm Lichfield Arts welcome to Mr Christian Reilly!

"The comedy equivalent of Motorhead slamming straight into Ace Of Spades." - The Scotsman
