This legendary beast of comedy has performed all over the world with an anarchic display that is both hilarious, unnerving and strangely moving. Totally unpredictable and anarchic - whether it's playing 'fruit cricket' from the top of a pair of ladders, or sticking an exploding roman candle up his buttocks and singing There's No Business Like Show Business. Chris is a regular on the comedy circuit throughout Europe and at Festivals such as Montreal, Edinburgh, Melbourne and Glastonbury. He has performed on a number of top bills and during some of the seminal moments in the history of stand-up. He played in the interlude at gigs for the Rolling Stones, Bryan Adams and Bob Dylan. "Wild clown in a class of his own." - The Times "I had to follow Chris Lynam, whose act that night seemed to consist entirely of cutting himself with a razor and letting blood drip on to the stage." - Tony Slattery on why he gave up stand-up comedy
