Chris Neill: Raging Enigma

Available for over a year

At the funeral of a dear neighbour, Chris Neill is joined by Isy Suttie and Martin Hyder, hacking back the undergrowth of his life for the comedy stories buried within. “A rapid-fire English David Sedaris. Every word is perfectly chosen and perfectly used.” - Miranda Sawyer, The Observer After ten episodes of Woof, in Raging Enigma Chris Neill continues to reveal the unvarnished realities of being a really quite mediocre man. Memoir continues to underpin these illustrated stand-up shows, and the subject matter will be as varied as before. But this time without the studio audience. “Chris Neill’s show is a consummate masterpiece” - Susan Nickson “Blissfully well written. Neill may be first and foremost a comedian, but his observations are as acute as any novelist’s. Sweet, sharp and very funny.” - The Times Written by Chris Neill Producer: Steve Doherty A Giddy Goat production for BBC Radio 4
