Glaswegian comic Christopher Macarthur-Boyd brings you his first ever stand-up special ‘Oh No’, filmed at the iconic Monkey Barrel Comedy in Edinburgh, featuring breezy laid-back jokes and stories about depression, tattoos, butter, and the meaning of life. The world seemingly ends, Christopher loses his job, pees himself, is constantly worried about his Dad’s poor breathing and becomes dependent on expensive meal subscription kits. What else can he say to all this, other than just, “oh no”?
