About Easily Swayed

Cult comedy favourite Chris Cantrill embarks on a debut UK tour with Easily Swayed, his Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated show about middle age, high fantasy and enduring friendship.

Mixing quickfire stand-up with utterly idiosyncratic storytelling, Yorkshire’s most eccentric export tells the epic true story of an overdue reunion gone awry. As he wrestles with the consequences of his self-imposed rural exile, Chris wonders if wearing a cape sometimes could be the answer.

As seen on Alma’s Not Normal (BBC 2), Avoidance (BBC One) and Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared (C4). Twice nominated for ‘Best Show’ as half of cult double act, The Delightful Sausage. He’s also co-creator of hit BBC Radio 4 series, Icklewick FM.
