When Did Chris McCausland Lose His Eyesight?

McCausland was blind due to retinitis pigmentosa. Speaking about his blindness, Chris told Disability Horizons: “My eyesight has deteriorated steadily throughout my whole life, with most of it going during my late teens”.

Determined not to let his health condition define him, Chris entered comedy and has been making a success of his career.

Chris is known to television audiences for his role as Rudi in the CBeebies show, Me Too! He regularly appears at comedy venues around the Uk, including The Comedy Store.

In 2021, he appeared on the Would I Lie To You one more time. In July 2022, Channel 4 announced McCausland presented a four-part travelogue series, provisionally titled, “The Wonders of the World I Can’t See”.
