Chris Lumb is a comedian, MC and impressionist who has spent well over a decade on the circuit as manager and performer of the improv group The Discount Comedy Checkout. His style is quick-witted and audience-led, which has made him a popular host at clubs including Hot Water Comedy Club in Liverpool, where he has developed his own night built around fun, unpredictable crowd work. That improv background gives him a comfort with the unexpected that few purely scripted acts can match, night after night.
Beyond the live stage, Chris is a comedy writer, director and illustrator whose short films have played at festivals including Raindance, and he runs his own YouTube channel featuring sketches, character work and impressions. He is also a skilled impressionist in his own right, having appeared on Russell Howard's Good News performing Star Wars impressions that won him a wider online following. That mix of writing, directing and performing gives his stand-up an extra layer of craft that comes through in every set he does, on stage or on screen.
As an MC with genuine improv chops, Chris is a strong choice for corporate nights, club shows and any event where you want a host who can think on their feet and keep an audience on side from the first minute to the last. His experience across live comedy, film and online content makes him a versatile, dependable booking for organisers who want something more than a straightforward set.
