In 2018 Chris returned to university (
LJMU) to read for a PhD in History researching the rise and demise of the Northern Fun Pubs. Chris has extensive experience in this area, including major local venues like Henry Afrika’s and the Rock Rock Cafe in Wigan.
Over his career, Chris has performed in all aspects of the arts, from hosting his own radio show (in full drag), to working in TV, films and stage productions. In 2002 he appeared on the Weakest Link drag queen special.
His talk ‘Queering a post-modern music hall’ is at 1pm.
