Yorkshire’s oddest export

Chris Cantrill is a 3-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated comedian, writer and actor from West Yorkshire.

Known for mixing quick fire gags with uniquely offbeat observations about modern life, he’s developed a reputation as “one of the most charmingly, daftly funny comics on the scene right now” (The Times).

Since making his television debut on Harry Hill’s Clubnite (Channel 4), Chris has become a regular on television and radio. He’s appeared in shows such as the BAFTA-winning Alma’s Not Normal (BBC 2), Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared (Channel 4) and Avoidance (BBC One). He’s also written for the likes of Dave, Channel 4, BBC Radio 2, Cbeebies and CBBC.

As half of the acclaimed double act The Delightful Sausage, Chris has been twice nominated for the ‘Best Show’ at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards (2019 and 2022). Chris and Amy have appeared on shows such as Question Team (Dave), Pointless (BBC One), and as series regulars for Late Night Mash (Dave). Chris is also the co-creator and star of BBC Radio 4’s breakout comedy, Icklewick FM which the Radio Times called “one of the best comedies of 2024”.
