Christian Manley
Christian Manley is a writer-performer who started at an early age, co-devising and hosting
countless TV shows for ITV Wales whilst still in school. Studying English Literature at
Warwick, he met Germaine Greer, who funded his magazine and opened the screening of
his first film, Inside Annie’s Car. He has hours of live presenting under his belt, with credits
on Sky, Channel 5 and ITV2. Christian writes regularly for Sue Perkins and other established
talent, as well as developing his own ideas. He was highly commended by BAFTA
Rocliffe and was a finalist in So You Think You’re Funny.
In 2016, Christian directed Sue Perkins' Live! in Spectacles across the UK.
