No mistaking identity of comedian Chris

Is That Chris Ramsey? St David’s Hall, Thursday, 7.30pm

IS THAT CHRIS RAMSEY? It certainly is, and he’s returning to St David’s Hall this Thursday.

As one of Britain’s brightest young comic talents, the genial Geordie is back at the National Concert Hall of Wales for the second time in as many years following the success of last year’s show All Growed Up.

This tour is his biggest ever and takes its title from a recent case of mistaken identity when Chris was wrongly arrested in a hotel in his underpants!

He has been as busy as ever too in recent months as a presenter on I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp (ITV2), Virtually Famous (E4) and his own series The Chris Ramsey Show (Comedy Central).

Chris is also a familiar face on popular programmes such as Celebrity Juice, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Mock the Week, Soccer AM, Live at the Apollo and Russell Howard’s Good News. Ever the versatile star, he’s also turned his hand to acting in BBC comedy series Hebburn, which revolves around a couple of newlyweds living in a Tyne and Wear town.

As a rookie, Chris first learned his trade whilst hosting open-mic nights in Newcastle throughout 2007. Yet, in no time he was nominated for the 2008 Chortle Student Comedian of the Year and was supporting the likes of Al Murray and Russell Kane.

His highly successful shows soon followed including Aggrophobic, Offermation and Feeling Lucky.

Warming up the crowd is Chris’ mate and fellow Geordie Carl Hutchinson.

Tickets are priced £20 (plus a £3.95 ticket service charge per transaction and an optional £1 postage fee). To book, visit www.stdavidshallcardiff.co.uk or call the box office on 029 2087 8444.
