Bridget Louise Christie (born 17 August 1971)[1][2] is an English stand-up comedian, actress and writer.

Christie grew up in Gloucester, England, the youngest of nine siblings born to parents from the west of Ireland: her father, Peter Christie, was from Boyle in the north of County Roscommon, while her mother, Mary Anne (née Kelly), was from Manorhamilton in the north of County Leitrim.

[4] In 1994, Christie won a three-year scholarship to study drama at the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts in Wandsworth, London.

[19] In May 2016, Christie recorded her debut screen stand-up special, Stand Up for Her (Live from Hoxton Hall), produced by Baby Cow Productions.

[22] The majority originated at the Edinburgh Festival and include A Bic for Her, An Ungrateful Woman and her Brexit-themed Because You Demanded It, which was The Guardian's No 1 Comedy of the Year 2016.

[25][26] In the show, Bridget plays Linda, who finds a new lease of life when she learns she is undergoing menopause and heads to the forest on a journey of self-discovery.

The Change was produced by Lisa Mitchell and executive-produced by Christie, Nerys Evans and Morwenna Gordon.

[27] In her 2018 BBC Radio 4 show Utopia, Christie addressed world events – Kim Jong-un, the melting polar ice caps, the Brexit negotiations and Nick Knowles singing a cover of The Beatles’ “Here Comes The Sun”.
