Hi, my name’s Chris Henry.
Performed by: Chris Henry (and Special Guest)
Venue: Capitol, 468 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow.
Date: Saturday, 20th March 2010
Show starts: 8pm.
Tickets: £6

The cheeky comedian from Coatbridge brings his show “Hi, my name’s Chris Henry” to Glasgow on the 20th of March 2010. The loveable misogynist will be treating you to his thoughts on  life that won him a place in the final of the Scottish Comedian of the year 2009 competition and a five star review at the Edinburgh Fringe.
 
Don’t be fooled by his blue eyes and dimples, underneath that cheeky exterior lurks a sharp and often shocking mind that is primed to entertain you with complete disregard for all that is PC. He will have you laughing at his dysfunctional family, pointless trips to the gym, views on religion, intimate and indecent memories of past “relationships” and much much more.

This is the year we’ll remember for a Tiger becoming a Cheetah, pigs really did fly (swine flu, boom boom), America achieved what the world thought impossible and voted a black man in to the white house, Jackson, Swayze and Gately all went to the Roller Disco in the sky and Irish twins were more annoying than radioactive crabs.

But what actually happened to me through 2009? Anyone close to me may have felt like they were being drawn in to an Eastenders story line vortex, but thanks to family, old friends and a few new ones I’m finishing the year on a high. So while I’m feeling more positive than Mark Fowlers tests results here is my year by numbers, going 10 to 1 pop pickers…

Let me start by pointing out that I’m 31, single and have no kids, so when asked to write about “Family”, a broad grin spread across my face when I reminded myself that I don’t have one of my own.

Don’t get me wrong, there is a part of me that would love to settle down, have the house, the wife, the kids and the big dog (none of your yapping handbag accessory dogs, a proper dog that barks and eats postmen that rarely turn up).

But there are two main reasons I’m happy I don’t have the family unit (yet).

No sooner had I read this month’s theme, it started. All my repressed memories of my school days started popping like giant acne in my brain.

Being skinnier than a super model with pig flu, my hair was cut by our neighbours “hairdresser” friend, my clothes were all hand-me-downs, combined with the NHS glasses I wore because my parents were too cheap to buy me cool specs, I looked like a puss faced, pubeless, mojo-free Austin Powers. I was the anti-Fonze.

I played drums in the school band, I did well in exams and was appalling at all sports. If there were a polar opposite point of being cool, I would have been standing right beside it with a goofy grin on my face.

Hey there people,

I hope this fine Sunday afternoon finds you resting on the couch with your chosen brain dead movie surrounded by a plethora of snacks and treats to help you end the weekend.

In anticipation of your plans for next weekend, I thought I’d let you know that I’ve made it through to the semi-final of the “Scottish Comedian of The Year” competition. Which i’ll be performing in on the 19th of September at Uisge Beatha on Woodlands Road, Glasgow. So it’s time to cancel your plans for next Saturday and book your tickets. (i’m pushy, but it’s ok cause i have dimples)

For me to make it through to the final, i need to rely on audience votes, so could use all the support I can get as there are some great acts and tough competition in the semi-final. Either way, it’s guaranteed to be a good night of comedy, so if you fancy coming along you’ll need to book your tickets ASAP by using the link below.
