I'm a stand-up comedian and sometimes chaotic cook. You can hear me on BBC Radio programmes quite often on shows like Just A Minute, Broadcasting House and MacAulay & Co where I jabber sixteen to the dozen and often try to get the subject onto food. When I'm not working as a comic, I'm equally happy transforming a pig’s head into a giant wobbling brawn, gutting cuttlefish, or not being able watch my soufflés (sometimes) triumphantly rise as the bulb in the oven has gone.
In 2008 I combined my enthusiasms by presenting a show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe called Chris Neill's Got A Bun In The Oven where I told jokes about food and cooking (with some knob gags on the side) all the while preparing a variety of venison offal dishes for the audience to chow down on.
