Relive the ‘90s! Relive the Word!

With some rarely seen clips and a no-holds-barred Q&A, Terry hosts this stand-up performance that delves into the iconic and quintessentially ‘90s ground-breaking and hugely influential TV show.

Launched in August 1990 on Channel 4, The Word both revolutionised ‘youth TV’ and predated ‘reality TV’ by a decade. With its goal being to create something new and exciting, The Word pushed the conventional boundaries of broadcasting to court controversy and outrage the establishment.

Combining a diverse mix of cutting-edge bands like Nirvana, Oasis and Snoop Dogg, irreverent and anarchic interviews of A-lister guests including Whitney Houston, Dave Chappelle, Bill Hicks, Rikki Lake and Oliver Reed. Plus, stories from the margins of society, and downright bizarre and outrageous studio stunts, The Word soon became loved by its target audience and loathed by the press in equal measure.

In fact, Terry has never really been off the TV since the crazy days of The Word.

More recently Terry appeared in The Great Christmas Bake Off, which was a Channel 4 40th anniversary special, broadcast on Christmas Eve 2022.

Testimonials

Not just your bog standard “An Audience with …” it was genuinely funny and pretty true to the description of a “Stand Up Comedy Show”.

I’ll be honest – I laughed more tonight than I did at the last comedy show I went to in Manc

There really is nothing on TV like the Word these days – it’s all gone a bit safe hasn’t it! – Altrincham HQ

With clips from the show including Oasis, Nirvana, John Wayne Bobbit and the squirmy “I’d Do Anything To Get On TV” clip it took us back on a real nostalgia fix.

“Christian himself is a natural and fantastically self-deprecating stand-up. He has found a natural home on the stage – a welcome reinvention for him and a great evening of laughs for those in the audience.” – The Huffington Post

“This hilarious romp through the guilt ridden, and occasionally dark, realms of life is another brave step for Terry. He brings all the maverick qualities that made him a media bête noire in the 90s, via C4’s The Word, to deliver an honest, funny and sometimes profound stand-up performance.” – The Yorkshire Pot
