Joining us today is one of the UK’s most loved comedians, and our reigning Strictly champion, whose journey is as inspiring as it is hilarious — it’s the brilliant Chris McCausland!


In this episode, Chris opens up about the challenges and triumphs of navigating life without sight, from losing his vision in his early twenties to becoming one of the country’s most in-demand stand-up comics. He shares how a sick day in 2003 unexpectedly launched his comedy career, why authentic representation on TV really matters, and how he’s used humour to challenge stereotypes and shift perceptions. He also reflects on the life-changing experience of winning Strictly Come Dancing, speaking candidly about the emotional toll, the physical intensity, and the unexpected pride he found in lifting the glitterball trophy.


Beyond the stage and screen, Chris chats about fatherhood, the role of technology and AI in transforming his everyday life, and how writing his upcoming memoir has helped him look back on his journey with fresh perspective and deep gratitude.


Chris's debut memoir is out this October and available to pre-order now. You can also buy tickets to his nationwide stand-up tour, Yonks, here. Plus, you can listen to his new podcast with Strictly partner Dianne Buswell, Winning Isn’t Everything, wherever you get your podcasts!
