Chris McCausland's current stand-up show is to be filmed by Channel 4.
Speaky Blinder kicked off in 2022 and will conclude at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in May after more than 140 performances, with the final night being filmed for the broadcaster.
The comic, who lost his sight from the degenerative condition retinitis pigmentosa, continues the tour later this week, with tickets for a number of dates still on sale.
Speaky Blinder is described as "a show about life and family, with loads of other nonsense thrown in for good measure".
Does life ever become overwhelming? Do you bemoan the stresses and strains of parenthood, a busy career, the rat race or everyday existence? Well, imagine having all that but being blind too. Chris McCausland is that man.
But luckily for Chris, and for the fans who attend his shows, he has also been gifted with a superb sense of humour and an unbeatable wit. This allows him not only to see the funny side in the life he leads, with all its difficulties, but also allows him to express this comedy on the stage.
McCausland will soon be seen on Channel 4 in comedy travelogue The Wonders Of The World I Can't See. The series will feature him visiting four of the most famous man-made and natural wonders of the world, including in Petra and Athens, with Harry Hill, Guz Khan, Liza Tarbuck and Tom Allen.
Both shows are produced by Open Mike.
