Bridget Christie
Bridget Christie built a reputation performing character-led stand-up in daft costumes at the Edinburgh Fringe, before her breakthrough hour, the feminism-focused A Bic for Her, delivered as herself, won the 2013 Edinburgh Comedy Award. She subsequently published her first book, A Book For Her, in 2015 and released her debut special, Stand Up for Her, on Netflix two years later. Following a succession of Radio 4 stand-up series, she began developing her comedy-drama The Change for Channel 4, about a 50-year-old woman, Linda, who experiences an existential crisis after starting the menopause. Leaving her family behind, she sets off on a pilgrimage to her childhood haunt of the Forest of Dean. The first series aired in 2023, earning a Bafta nomination, and the second in 2025.
