Strictly Changed Me with Chris McCausland

Ready to Talk with Emma Barnett

Available for over a year

Comedian Chris McCausland discusses how he got past perfectionism and blindness to dance on live TV in front of millions of viewers. Chris explains how a rare condition meant he gradually lost his sight over 25 years, and how he performed his first stand-up comedy as a dare. He talks about appearing on Strictly Come Dancing against all his instincts, calling it the scariest thing he’s done in his life. In Ready to Talk with Emma Barnett, the award-winning interviewer speaks to people you will know and people you should know about the experiences that are shaping their lives.
