A bitingly funny journey through the inner-city childhood of one of Britain’s most outspoken TV presenters, Terry Christian.
Terry bares all in his stand-up show, ‘Confessions of an Irish Catholic’, lifting the lid on Catholicism ; Madchester; The Word; Hollywood Stars; and Celebrity .
“Christian himself is a natural and fantastically self-deprecating stand-up. He has found a natural home on the stage – a welcome reinvention for him and a great evening of laughs for those in the audience. As someone who is also from a massive Irish-Mancunian Catholic family, there was so much I could relate to and Christian's very cheeky and spikey pops at the Catholic Church would make my Irish mammy blush (but chuckle too) and for anyone who has ever know a nasty nun or pompous priest, there are lots of laughs to be had.
I grew up watching my parents howl with laughter at the Irish comedian Dave Allen and parts of Christian's set echo some of Allen's philosophy that it is healthy to laugh not just at yourself but of course, at the Church and those in power.”
(The Huffington Post)
“Easy to watch, intelligent and funny for that. A great night out.” (Yorkshire Times).
“This hilarious romp through the guilt ridden, and occasionally dark, realms of life is another brave step for Terry. He brings all the maverick qualities that made him a media bête noire in the 90s, via C4’s The Word, to deliver an honest, funny and sometimes profound stand-up performance.” (The Yorkshire Post)
