CHRIS MCGLADE
Stand-Up Comedian / Actor / Poet / Activist

Hailing from Redcar in Teesside and treading the boards of the comedy world for twenty six years.
Chris has played in all sorts of situations from learning his trade in the working mens clubs of the North East, on his way to the Comedy Store in Hollywood & to the Victoria Palace Theatre in London's West End where he had a leading roll in Billy Elliot the musical.
Last year he sold out the backyard in two days, and once again, got a standing ovation. His Critically acclaimed show 'Forgiveness' went on a full UK tour in 2022 which resulted in hin getting 20 standing ovations from 26 performances.
"It’s changed peoples lives, set people on the road to forgiveness themselves, brought down barriers of race, religion and most importantly I feel, class. Working class and middle class people have been brought together at a time when the country has never been more divided.'
A film is being made of the tour, which is being taken to the Cannes and Sundance film festivals.
