Bridget Christie is a celebrated British comedian, actor, and writer whose sharp wit and fearless insights into gender, identity, and social norms have won her widespread acclaim. She is best known today for creating, writing and starring in the Channel 4 comedy drama 'The Change', which has earned a BAFTA nomination and was longlisted for the TV Choice Awards. Her blend of humour and heartfelt observation makes her a compelling and provocative speaker, and that is precisely why she is in demand.
She first gained major public recognition with her solo stand-up show 'A Bic For Her', which won the Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show in 2013. That production also picked up the South Bank Sky Arts Award for Best Comedy, the Chortle Award for Best Show and a Hospital 100 Club Award for Performance and Theatre in 2014. Her following tours and radio work steadily built her reputation, with 'Because You Demanded It' in 2016 named The Guardian’s No 1 Comedy of the Year. Over time, she extended into television and radio panel shows, appearing on 'Have I Got News for You', 'QI', 'Taskmaster' (series 13), 'The News Quiz', 'Dilemma' and Harry Hill’s 'Alien Fun Capsule'. On the radio, her shows have been finalists at the BBC Audio Drama Awards, and her writing has seen her establish a distinctive voice across stand-up, scriptwriting and prose.
In more recent years, Bridget has broken several barriers. She became the first British female comedian to have a stand-up special streamed on Netflix with Stand Up for Her. Her debut book, 'A Book for Her', was widely praised and featured among The Telegraph’s Top 100 Christmas books, in The Observer as Book of the Day and as one of the top ten comedy books in The List. Meanwhile, The Change has attracted critical attention, being nominated in 2024 for both an RTS Comedy Writing Award and a BAFTA for Performance in Comedy. Her work continues to resonate, combining humour, social insight and emotional honesty to engage audiences across genres.
She is hired as a speaker for her unique ability to combine award-winning comedy with sharp cultural commentary. Bridget brings depth, originality and warmth to her performances, offering audiences both laughter and a fresh perspective. Her career trajectory, from groundbreaking live shows to acclaimed writing and television, demonstrates why she is such a sought-after voice for events and conferences.
