Gyles gets together with comedian Chris McCausland to record a really special episode of Rosebud. Chris takes Gyles back to his childhood days, playing football and messing about in the streets of West Derby Village in Liverpool, part of a close-knit family and friendship group. Chris talks about the beginnings of the problems with his sight, which started in childhood, how this affected his schooling and could, at times, make him feel self-conscious. He and Gyles also talk about whether Chris's sight problems affect his memories - which is fascinating. Chris tells Gyles about getting into stand-up, his best friend, how he met and married his wife and his experiences of being a dad. This is a life-affirming, inspiring, profound and at times, moving, episode of Rosebud - as Gyles demonstrates at the very end of the interview! Our huge thanks so Chris for giving his warmth, wit and wonderful reminiscences to us. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

‘For me, it's all about his authenticity'. Chris McCausland Kurt Cobain, lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of the band Nirvana became the voice of a generation and is to this day considered one of the most influential musicians in the history of alternative rock. His angst ridden, often politically driven lyrics challenged the conventions of the day and resonated with youth audiences around the world. He championed the underdog and stood up for all those who had ever felt excluded from the mainstream. Kurt's message resonated with comedian, actor and writer Chris McCausland, but so did his music. With its raw energy and Kurt's ‘take me as I am' performances, Chris found a rock band that delivered the authenticity he'd been searching for. Accompanied from New York by author, journalist and music specialist Laura Barton, Chris discusses the Great Life of Kurt Cobain, his music, his message, his sense of humour and why it's never too late to jump in a mosh pit. Presented by Matthew Parris Produced by Nicola Humphries

Chris McCausland is a stand-up comedian who is now a regular fixture on TV after 18 years on the circuit. Chris had to quit his job in IT because of a hereditary eye condition which means he is now blind. He almost became an MI5 spy at one stage but instead decided to make people laugh with his observational comedy. British Iranian musician and artist Roxana Vilk is collecting lullabies in diverse languages that are sung to children around Bristol and the UK. Singing Lullabies in Farsi to her own children allowed Roxana to connect with her culture and childhood experiences of conflict in the Middle East.

My guest this week is the stand-up comedian and actor Chris McCausland. He is the first blind professional comedian in the world, and is firmly established at the very top of the UK's comedy circuit. He made his stand-up debut on Live At The Apollo, and he has since appeared on Have I Got News For You? and Would I Lie To You? However he says the highlight of his career - and indeed, his life - was getting the conundrum right on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown. ** This episode was recorded remotely via Zoom due to Covid-19 ** See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

And he hinted at a change on our programme a few weeks ago - but Grant Shapps has revealed measures to ban pavement parking in England. We work through the implications of a consultation with Tom Walker, and Sarah Lambert, Head of Social Change at RNIB gives a reaction.

Life can be a bit different if you're disabled or have a mental health difficulty, but sometimes it is just be plain hilarious. Andy Duffy, Sajeela Kershi and Janine Hammond take to the stage at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to tell true stories on the theme of Lost and Found. From Andy's missing wheelchair battery which almost sparked the evacuation of a London museum, to Sajeela's recent hearing loss which meant she mistook a rude, insulting man, for someone paying her a compliment. Reece Finnegan, who's blind, wakes up hungover and without any of his possessions in his boss' house, and must somehow find his way out. Then there's Janine Hammond who lost her nipples, twice. First to cancer, then to showbiz. This is the first episode of BBC Ouch: Storytelling Live 2019, hosted by comedian Chris McCausland. Subscribe to Ouch on BBC Sounds.

Being a parent is hard, but when you're disabled it can come with its own unique set of challenges and advantages. From the mum who insisted on building an accessible house extension so her husband had to do night-duties, to the visit to A&E with a child who had jammed his leg a wheelchair spoke after using it as a climbing frame.

This show is dedicated to the memory of Stella Young, 24 February 1982 – 6 December 2014. Abnormally Funny People get out of the studio and in front of a live audience for this special one-off show, recorded on International Day of #Disabled People, 3rd December 2014. We’ve got three mighty guests chipping in with their stories and their wit: TV maker and presenter Paul Carter, world travelling sassy comedian Taynalee Davis and and top comedian/ star of the Barclays cashpoint ads Chris McCausland. For the first time in the #AFPShow there’s some stand up - from Tanyalee, Chris and the fantastically funny Lost Voice Guy. Hosts Steve Best and Simon Minty navigate their way through being asked questions by strangers on the street, eating spaghetti when you have short arms, Christmas shopping when you’re very short yourself and when train assistance gets all a bit too much. We #review three great products: a drinking container where you don’t even have to move to take a slurp, a USB charger which links to your scooter battery and a talking alarm clock. All in front of a live audience. Season’s Greetings from all at Abnormally Funny People.

Rich has slept in and not had much time to prepare for the show, but luckily it doesn't seem to matter as there are lots of people in and they're drinking and they're up for fun - even if some of the more mature members are furious about the monarchy. Plus an update on the teenage girls and their mum from yesterday. Rich makes friends with a History student called Sleeveland or something, whose knowledge of Guy Fawkes is pitiful. Today's main guest is Tony Law who is enjoying the time away from his young children and having a cool pint of lager. His impressive face hair provides the subject for much of the conversation - though he seems to deflect Rich's request to kiss him, but the predominance of hair cuts and t-shirts on the Edinburgh posters also gets a look in and there are tales of Edinburgh's past as usual. Stand-up is from Chris McCausland.

A fascinating and sometimes bizarre discussion between three disabled comedians speaking to us from around the world: Stella Young in Australia, Maysoon Zayid in San Francisco and Chris McCausland in London. Presented by Liz Carr.
