Christie Grattan

The face of Billy Joel then with the hairline of Billy Joel now. Christie has been entertaining audiences across the UK for the longest time - and he probably did start the fire… Christie will regale you with tales that tickle, and his musings on the magic in the mundane. A natural born storyteller and rambunctious raconteur.

"Christie Grattan will blow your socks off with his jokes which are even sharper than his style.” - Glenn Braley 'Comedy Noir
