Description

Did you hear the one about a skinny 16-year-old Scottish kid that moved to America with dreams of becoming a professional basketball player? No? Well why not come along and hear Chris recount his experience of being a high school student in the good ole USA back in 1999. Quarterbacks, prom queens and heartache… and an unexpected path that led to a career in comedy. 'He's brilliant company – honest, insightful very funny' **** (Scotsman). 'Brilliantly observed... laugh-out-loud stuff... a natural comedian' (Herald). 'Outstanding' (Comedy.co.uk).
