Relive the ‘90s! Relive The Word!
Award-winning Broadcaster, Comedian and writer Terry Christian, celebrates the legendary TV show, The Word with a unique one-man comedy show.
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.
“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 Post)
“Easy to watch, intelligent and funny for that. A great night out.” (Yorkshire Times).
Always championed by UK audiences, Terry Christian was voted 2nd in Celebrity Big Brother in 2009, sharing household duties with the likes of Coolio, LaToya Jackson and Ulrika Johnson.
Terry has appeared on many other TV shows including 8 out of 10 Cats, Would I Lie to You, The Staying in Show, You’ve Been Watching, Have I Got News for You, Room 101, Fantasy Football, The 11 O’clock Show, plus RTE’s The LateLate Show, The Panel Show and Zig & Zag. He has also been a regular panellist on C5’s topical The Wright Stuff and Jeremy Vine.
Terry appeared more recently in The Great Christmas Bake Off, which was a Channel 4 40th anniversary special, broadcast on Christmas Eve 2022. In fact, he has never really been off the TV ever since those crazy days of The Word! He has also featured on Radio 4 comedy shows including News Quiz, Joe Lycett’s It’s Not What You Know, as well as Chain Reaction with Kevin Bridges.
