christopher spencer barnes "Chris Brnes (born 18 Oct 1983) British stand-up comedian His comedy style is expressed in rambling, whimsical monologue and self-referential pantomime. In addition television work on bbc three and other channels born in ashford in kent in 1983 . the oldest of two chrildren .Son of British parents tony and gill Comic style barnes's style is heavily influenced by Monty Python, especially in his use of a stream-of-consciousness delivery that jumps between topics as he free associates on stage. He does not generally work from a script, owing to his dyslexia. Instead, he interrupts himself with new joke ideas, the characters he portrays turn into other characters, and he nonchalantly leaps from historical analysis to musings about household appliances. This often results in brief pauses in the routine which he fills with i can't believe and other verbal tics that have become his trademarks. Thinking aloud is also part of Barnes's ongoing attempt to make the process of writing the show itself part of the humour < less
