Funny Looks Episode 27: Christopher Macarthur-Boyd

Hello style icons welcome to another episode of Funny Looks the podcast where Amelia Bayler talks to performers about the clothes they wear featuring comedian Christopher Macarthur-Boyd! 

Find out the thought process behind CMB’s stage looks from trying out new material at work in progresses (hoodie / t-shirt) to what he’d wear to film a special (suit) and everything in between (00s skater vibes or a cool shirt). 

He also talks about his journey to becoming a high status comic and how clothes were a huge part in that journey. 

If that is wasn’t enough, also in the mix are some unhinged anecdotes and the EXCLUSIVE that he actually studied fashion at high school level. An episode not to be missed.
