Fluid Thinking Presents Comedian Chris Turner's Debut Solo Show PRETTY FLY at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, 30 July - 25 August
By: Jillian Gaier Jul. 14, 2014
After four sell-out runs with Fringe favourites Racing Minds (Aaaand Now For Something Completely Improvised), 1.5 million views on YouTube and sold out tours to Australia and India, BBC New Comedy Award finalist Chris is proud to present his debut solo show.
Chris's sharply written gags, assured stage presence and blisteringly quick improvised raps have established him as one of the best up-and-coming comics on the international circuit, performing in the UK, USA, Australia and India.
His keen wit and intelligent wordplay have seen him rack up over 1.6 million views on YouTube; headline for 1.1 million Dutch comedy fans on RTL4's flagship stand up show, The Comedy Factory; appear live on BBC Radio 2 and perform sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where in 2012, he was part of the prestigious Pleasance Comedy Reserve, and awarded the 5th Best Joke of the Fringe.
Having recently signed to Brillstein Entertainment Partners in America, Chris will be recording Pretty Fly in LA for New Wave Entertainment, at the invitation of Comedy Central Records founder Jack Vaughn Jr., and has been invited to perform on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
An Oxford Archaeology and Anthropology graduate, Chris has been freestyle rapping since the age of 12, recently performing bespoke raps at the 2014 Chelsea Player of the Year Awards for Jose Mourinho and the First XI.
He is a founding member of Racing Minds, one of the UK's most respected improv troupes, with 4 sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe performing Aaaand Now For Something Completely Improvised and 500,000+ Soundcloud subscribers to their 50s style radio comedy The Wireless Podcast.
