Christopher Macarthur-Boyd

Born and bred in Glasgow, Christopher Macarthur-Boyd is Scotland’s foremost purveyor of sad clever stand-up that is immaculately crafted and laugh-out-loud funny.

2024 has seen Christopher release his debut stand-up comedy special Oh No! with 800 Pound Gorilla Media and launch the hugely popular-chart topping comedy podcast Here Comes The Guillotine with Frankie Boyle and Susie McCabe. After a sell-out run at the Fringe, CMB will tour the UK and Ireland with his hit-show Scary Times this Autumn, culminating with his biggest show to date at the 1500 seater Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow.
