The podcast, Here Comes the Guillotine (which Christopher Macarthur-Boyd presents with Frankie Boyle and Susie McCabe) is a favourite in our household. It was fascinating to me that many of the audience queuing at Cabaret Voltaire had come to see Howling at the Moon on the back of that.

A quietly confident stand-up set, the softly spoken Glaswegian delivers an hour of autobiographical storytelling. Breaking up with his long-term girlfriend and moving back in with Mum and Dad, he explores neurodivergence and sexuality. He questions his relationship to ADHD and bisexuality.

Christopher does have Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder (DSPD), a condition that can cause illness if you wake up too early in the morning. Not a problem for a gigging stand-up comedian, but not great for a normal life.

A normal life was never going to be this comedian’s path. Lucky for his audience. The self-deprecating storyteller had the entire room howling with laughter. Christopher may have been questioning his identity, but what we do know is that he’s a very funny man.

Christopher Macarthur-Boyd  is interviewed on Episode 12 of the On the Mic: Five a Day podcast.
