Chris’ calm, laid back demeanour combined with a hilarious and erudite turn of phrase has seen his act flourish in numerous venues across the country since competing in Chortle Student Comedian of The year Competition in 2007. Equipped with superb material, and the style to match, his is an act both extremely funny and original.
 
Winner of the First Laugh Comedian of the Year award in 2008 and most recently selected to take part in the prestigious emerging act shows during Edinburgh Festival for Big Value Comedy Show 2010 and Pleasance Comedy Reserve 2009, Chris has been making something of a name for himself as one of the best new acts in the country with his intelligent and hilarious brand of comedy, making rooms full of people laugh with their heads and their bellies, both inways and out loud.

‘Final act Chris Stokes is a minor revelation….. playing on social misconceptions and dismantling them on stage…… there’s a surrealistic element that acts as a smoke screen, keeping the audience distracted while Stokes weaves additional layers into the fabric’ FestBuzz 2009
