I really enjoyed it' - Mark Watson 'Great energy and stage presence, really likeable as well, and well crafted jokes' - Dean T Beirne 'Chrissy has been phenomenal every time I've see her! Comfortable and confident on stage, brilliantly witty, self deprecating and personal but relatable and flush with call backs. Highly recommend!' - Elenia Parkes 'Chrissy is a consistently brilliant act, absurdly talented writer. Book her!!!' - May Thompson 'Loveable, awkward, and worryingly relatable, Chrissy Derbyshire has been quickly making her name on the local comedy scene. A crowd favourite, Chrissy is sure to get you laughing on subjects you didn't even realise could be funny.' - Class Act Comedy REVIEWS * * * * - Fringe Reviews ("Innards" WIP, 2025) ' * * * * *: Gloriously, deliciously arcane standup from a future star' - Fringe '25 audience review 'The loveable comedian harnessed her awkwardness to create a very relatable and accessible performance as everyone has gone through a phase of not knowing what do to with our lives. The delivery of the set combined beautifully with the actual content and the perfect amount of jokes were sprinkled throughout making for an insightful yet hilarious performance! What started its life as a comment about recently sticking her hand into a bin thinking it was a Dyson hand dryer, turned into a story about finding what you love and doing what you enjoy. Obviously, this performer is passionate about comedy and using the stand-up format to deliver this message was such a full-circle moment.' - Rhys Reviews
