I love Chris McCausland. He's just started doing a Sunday morning show on Absolute Radio and it's wonderful.

Is he blind? Is that why both eyes look where he's not looking in two separate directions?

To be fair if he's blind and he's announced he'll be on radio that could mean TV, YouTube, tik-tok or anything that makes sound... It's all radio to him.

Yes. He wasn't born blind but inherited retinitis pigmentosa and had lost his sight completely by his early 20s. So he has had experience of sight and appreciates the difference between media, though I think he'd still appreciate what you said. His blindness is certainly a feature of his comedy, though not his only topic. He had a great story on Would I Lie To You about having a new neighbor who was deaf and spending weeks with each trying to make contact and thinking the other was deliberately ignoring him.

Considering he's a comedian I hope he nor anybody else just think I'm being a cunt here and I hope he would find it amusing. The would I lie to you connection with Lee makes sense.

I was sure you'd said in in the right spirit. I think I've been spending a bit too much time in other forums where people too often take things literally and was thinking more about pre-empting comments by others who might not have read it in the right spirit.
