Sherborne Pride:- Comedy night: Christopher Hall
Digby Memorial Church Hall
Digby Road Sherborne DT9 3NL
Come join us for an exclusive Edinburgh Fringe Preview in aid of Sherborne Pride.
Comedian and social media sensation Christopher tells of his life, as a ‘boy who’s a bit girly really’.
From unhealthy obsessions with pop princesses, falling in line behind the School Classroom Queen Bees, and gaining life lessons from the cast of ‘Bad Girls’ why wouldn’t everyone strive to be girlier?
Men might be from Mars, but girls are from Venus, and, according to Christopher, life’s way more fun over there.
Christopher’s sketches featuring ’Background Singers’, ‘Your Cat’ and ’The Millennial’ have over 12 million likes, 50million views and spawned collaborations with Kylie, Shania Twain and JoJo.
Doors open 7:30pm Show starts 8pm.
