Jehovah's Witness for the Prosecution: Chris Ford (WIP)
Chris Ford, known for his sharp wit and infectious charm, brings his work in progress stand-up comedy show to the stage with humour and honesty. Blending stories of growing up as a strict Jehovah’s Witness with life as an A&E nurse, he explores identity, belief and resilience. Through sharp storytelling and self-deprecating humour, he reflects on teenage years shaped by faith, shame and desire in a world where questioning was forbidden. From queer awakenings to the absurdities of NHS life, this is raw, heartfelt, laugh-out-loud comedy with a story that deserves to be heard.
