Christopher Macarthur-Boyd is best known as co-host of the award-winning podcast Here Comes The Guillotine with Frankie Boyle and Susie McCabe, but he's also the two-time presenter of the BBC New Comedy Awards, compere of BBC’s Hogmanay comedy showcase Scotland Stands Up, and star of BBC Scotland’s Up For It. His special Scary Times is the new brilliant stand-up special where he finds the funny in everything from an abduction by a heroin addict to a diagnosis of imminent blindness.
As a follow-up to his debut special Oh No, Macarthur-Boyd destroys any notion of a sophomore slump with a rollicking hour of dark, clever and sad stand-up to a sold-out hometown audience. Directed by John McCormack (Michael McIntyre’s Roadshow, Kevin Bridges: The Brand New Tour) and dedicated to the memory of his late grandfather, Scary Times blends the robust craftsmanship of old-school traditional stand-up with the emotional intelligence and political nous of modern fringe alternative storytelling.
Tune in to the premiere of Scary Times on 800 Pound Gorilla's Comedy Exports YouTube channel on December 17th at 9 AM CST/3PM GMT!
