Chris McCausland Yonks! UK Tour 2025- 2026 Comes to Oxford 17th March 2025

oxfDue to phenomenal demand, Chris McCausland has added over 100 more dates to his sell-out Yonks! tour, including a highly anticipated stop at the Oxford New Theatre on 17th March 2025.

McCausland humorously reflects on his career with the tour name, Yonks!, a nod to the fact that although he’s been performing stand-up for years, some fans think he’s an “overnight success.” Despite his long tenure in comedy, McCausland has experienced a surge in mainstream popularity, solidifying his place as a household name.

Born in Liverpool in 1977, Chris McCausland has retinitis pigmentosa, a condition that caused his blindness at the aged of 22. He initially worked in IT before discovering his talent for stand-up during an open mic night. Since then, his comedic rise has been nothing short of remarkable. His unique perspective as a blind comedian, paired with his brilliant observational humour, sets him apart. While McCausland often incorporates his experiences with blindness into his routines, he is much more than a niche act, appealing to a broad audience with relatable, sharp-witted material.

An established TV favourite, Chris is currently starring in BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing, further proving his versatility as a performer. He’s also a regular on Have I Got News for You, Would I Lie to You?, QI, The Last Leg, and 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. He has appeared on Live at the Apollo three times, even hosting one of the episodes. In 2022, Chris made his debut at the Royal Variety Performance, held at the iconic Royal Albert Hall, solidifying his place among the comedic elite.

Most recently, Chris hosted his own ITV chat show, The Chris McCausland Show, which earned a TV Choice Award nomination. His charismatic hosting skills shone through in interviews with guests like Paul Whitehouse, Ben Elton, and Rob Beckett. Alongside this, he’s appeared on entertainment staples like Blankety Blank and The Jonathan Ross Show, and even won Celebrity Mastermind with his specialist subject of Pearl Jam.

2023 saw McCausland venture into travel television with Wonders of the World I Can’t See, a Channel 4 series that humorously explores how he navigates famous landmarks as a blind person. He also featured in Scared of the Dark, further expanding his already diverse television portfolio.

His last tour, Speaker Blinder, was a 140+ date sell-out, with stops in Banbury and Didcot, culminating in a filmed performance at the legendary Shepherd’s Bush Empire. Now, Yonks! promises to be even bigger, with more dates and a wider reach. With McCausland’s blend of humour, charm, and relatability, this tour is set to be a must-see event for comedy fans across the country.

Chris McCausland’s success is a testament to his resilience and incredible comedic talent, making him one of the UK’s most beloved comedians.
