Christopher Morris (born September 5, 1965 in Bristol, England) is an English satirical comedian, writer, director, producer, actor and radio DJ.
Morris began his career in radio before moving into television. He found fame in the nineties fronting the spoof current affairs shows The Day Today and Brass Eye. Morris is known for often highly controversial yet intelligent comedy, which has brought praise and criticism in equal measure. He is reluctant to discuss his work or appear in public.
A typical work is "Sex for Houses." Another Chris Morris masterpiece - a house seller offers to lower the price for a "sex arrangement".
"He'd want sex in return for dropping the price. 12 times before the exchange of contracts.
"He would accept seven penetrations four oral sessions and one of... Bagpiping.
"Quite a good mouth, yes. Hm? Mr Lulch could do the oral sessions. Me? I-I don't think... Then yes, we'll do it."
