Jehovah's Witness for the Prosecution – Work in Progress

Edinburgh 2026

Chris Ford, known for his sharp wit and infectious charm, brings his show to the stage with humour and honesty. Blending stories of growing up as a strict Jehovah’s Witness with life as an A&E nurse, he explores identity, belief and resilience. Through sharp storytelling and self-deprecating humour, he reflects on teenage years shaped by faith, shame and desire in a world where questioning was forbidden. From queer awakenings to the absurdities of NHS life, this is raw, heartfelt, laugh-out-loud comedy with a story that deserves to be heard.
