A beloved comedian is set to perform in Eastbourne.

Chris McCausland will return to the Congress Theatre with his critically acclaimed show, Yonks.

The performance is scheduled for one night only, on Saturday, April 18, at 8pm.

Following a sell-out tour, McCausland promises an evening filled with laughter, unexpected twists and stories.

Yonks explores themes of life, family and ageing, delivered with McCausland's signature style.

Tickets for the show, suitable for ages 16 and above, are available at eastbournetheatres.co.uk, or by calling 01323 412000.

A spokesperson for the event said: "If you’ve yet to experience Chris in his natural habitat as a stand-up comic you are truly in for a treat.

"He wowed audiences on Strictly Come Dancing, winning the Glitterball trophy in 2024 with his incredible talent and natural charm and he’s a regular on panel comedy shows, but when is on stage in the spotlight is where he truly shines."

Known for his appearances on Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News for You, Would I Lie to You?, and his travel series The Wonders of the World I Can’t See, McCausland has become a household name.

His unique brand of observational humour has captivated audiences across the UK and beyond.

McCausland’s career began in 2003 after his deteriorating eyesight, due to retinitis pigmentosa, ended his work as a web developer.

Within a year of trying stand-up, he had won the Jongleurs Last Laugh competition, subsequently establishing himself with six stand-up shows at the Edinburgh Festival.
