Welcome one and all to the official website for me, comedian (and inventor of yodeling cunnilingus) Chris Henry. Here you will find video clips, pictures, gig details, my blog and all sorts of other stuff that I feel the need to put on here, it’s the perfect site for either wasting five minutes or starting your career as my stalker!
That said, you’ll probably want to perv over my junk now, so enjoy the site and feel free to leave your comments!
I’m not sure how to say this, but Candy Crush, we are over. It was fun when we started, you were exciting and new, you kept me interested, you took me on journeys on trains, boats and planes, my friends all loved you and I couldnt get enough of you.
But things have changed, now you are too hard to work out, every time I come near you I’m left angry and frustrated, its not healthy.
Plus all my friends keep saying that they’ve been playing with you too, they arent even discreet, my facebook is full of gloating boasts saying how far they’ve went with you. I keep getting messages asking me to help my friends go further with you, which is just sick.
I know I’ll miss you, but we just cant see each other any more. I’m going to block you and hope that my friends will appreciate how hard this will be for me and not send me further information on you.
Goodbye sweetness.
Brilliantly shot, giving an incredible sense of scale and vibrancy that drag you from your cinema chair and drop you in to Rodenberrys reality. The 3D, in parts, is quite impressive (watch out for that spear).
Downsides are, awful accents, Simon Peggs “Scotty” is a warm, lovable cheeky chappy with great comic timing, but borders on being a parody of Russ Abotts “see you Jimmy” character and Anton Yelchins dialogue for “Chekov” is over forced to bring out the characters speach impediment. There is also a wealth of talent under utilised, John Chos “Sulu” is nothing more than a window dressing character, and after Carl Urbans scene stealing performance in the last movie, I was really disappointed with how little he did in this one.
But those are minor points in a hugely enjoyable 2 hours that fly by. The action sequences are nothing short of epic, the humour is sharp and plentiful, and the costumes are so stylish that I wouldnt be surprised if some clothing is seen in shops this winter.
But the big Starfleet badges should be worn with pride by the talent on screen that IS utilised. Chris Pines “Kirk” is exactly how he

Finally arriving at the Fringe for his first full-run solo show. at 34 and still living life like a 20-year-old, sadly he’s lost friends, jobs, relationships, family, religion and dignity, all for ‘the dream’.

Come see him for free before society breaks his spirit.
Ok Spiderman fans, there is good news and bad news. (Mild spoilers, expand at your own risk)
The good news; Andrew Garfield makes the perfect Peter Parker, edgy, funny, a tortured soul and more realistic (when he gets hit, he bruises). Emma Stone is a great Gwen Stacey and does for high socks what Jennifer Aniston did for long bobs. Martin Sheen nails Uncle Ben. Some of the camera angles and colouring give shots that could have been lifted straight from the comic, which had this geek grinning. And for true web heads, the home made web shooters are back.
The bad news; Sally Fields (as wonderful as she is) in my opinion is neither old enough or frail enough to play Aunt May. Denis Leary is
After lots a few of my friends asking what they should see at this years Fringe, I decided to post a list of all the things I shall be making an effort to go and see. This list was compiled just by having a quick look through the brochure, so I’ve probably missed loads of good shows from it. If you know of anything that I should be going to see, feel free to leave a link in the comments below.
The list is a mix of big acts, little acts and everything in between, there are even some great shows that are free in there, so make sure you check those out. If you click on the show it’ll take you to a link on the edinburgh festival wesbite and I’ve put the list in time order to make it easier for you to plan your day (My OCD is getting worse as I get older)

Just watched a lovely little movie called Once. Beautifully bittersweet soundtrack provided by Glen Hansard, with an underplayed will they, wont they love story used to facilitate the charming music. A film to warm the core of the coldest hearts.
Prometheus: its beautiful, its well acted, it’s interesting, but all in all its just not the film you want it to be. It tells half the story you want. For all its stunning effects and detailed surroundings, the only thing on your mind when you leave is a giant “WHY?”. Why did she do that? Why didn’t she do that? Why did he… Why, why, why… So while it feels like it was worth watching, i can’t quite figure out why.
Just watched Hugo - what a pile of shite! Normally my movie reviews are more eloquent, but there is nothing in there that deserves better use of the English language. It’s pure PISH!
Some might say Barack Obama won his first election primarily using the race card, which was a beautiful surprise to the world, not only because it showed just how far American mentality was evolving, but now it’s also shock that he’s made it through his first 4 years without getting shot.
Combine that with surviving in the biggest recession of our generation and watching the Avengers movie, then you’ll understand why he’s obviously feeling immortal. Which can be the only reason he has decided to express his personal opinion (with no commitments to changing any laws) that “same sex couples should be able to get married”.
Recent western traditions dictate marriage as a celebration, social union and let’s not forget legal contract, of a monogamistic love between two people, that lasts until one spouse dies, but in over 50% of cases ends in divorce that are most commonly bitter exploitations of said love for financial gain.
Why would the most “powerful man in the world” spark such controversy? Unless of course he believes everyone deserves equal rights. Or could it be he has figured out this is his last chance to get a cash injection in to the economy?
The following is a letter I sent to megabus at 17:00 on 30.5.12
To Megabus,
I am writing to you today to express my concern that your company may be in cahoots with the rail networks and encouraging their ridiculous prices. Myself and 100’s of my colleagues travel the length and breadth of this country every week, so in these frugal times the evidence presented to me that you are actively villainizing coach travel, pushing folks back to the money grabbing clutches of trains, is of major concern to me.
By now, you are probably wondering what evidence I have to support this claim, well let me tell you.
I am always keen for adventure, especially when it comes to trying new experiences, so imagine my delight when I found out I could return to London from Glasgow on a “sleeper” coach. I’d tried the sleeper train before, with its comfortable bedding, smooth journey and tranquil surroundings, so thought this couldn’t be much different and excitedly booked my ticket. A total of £35.60, a fraction of the cost that the rail Nazis would have charged, which made me think that there may have been a difference in service, but it didn’t prepare me for your evil plan.
