​
He has written and performed in a number of comedy shows, as well as a comedy TV series and is very much in demand as an event host. An experienced voice over artist and primetime radio host, he has voiced adverts for many renowned brands including international banks, museums and high street retail stores.

​
Together with his co-host Wesley Ellul, Chris reminisces about the show, "Faculty of Fun" which was a first of its kind on the island - a primetime radio show hosted by two people and the only show of its time (or since) to host bands playing sets in the studio, live on air.

​
"In this funny, honest and very touching podcast, Chris shares what the past year has meant for the arts in Malta, he explains the mental game of 'staying in the game', he shares precious stories of his hard wired memories of the Comedy Knights - as well as explaining how it all started and tells us what it is like to bomb on a stand-up stage, along with much more. Make time for this podcast. You will laugh, learn and maybe even cry."
