<p>This week Emily and Ray take a stroll with the wonderful <strong>Bridget Christie,</strong> comedian, actor and writer.</p><br><p>Bridget has won a huge following through her acclaimed stand-up shows and memorable TV appearances on <em>Taskmaster</em> and <em>Have I Got News for You</em>. More recently, she wrote and starred in the brilliantly funny Channel 4 comedy-drama <em>The Change</em>.</p><br><p>Bridget also shares her fascinating origin story, from growing up with eight siblings and leaving school at 15, to finding her way into stand-up comedy after struggling to land acting work. It turned out to be a very good decision, leading to critical acclaim across live comedy, radio and television, as well as winning the <strong>Edinburgh Comedy Award</strong>.</p><br><p>If you haven’t seen Bridget live yet, the good news is she’s heading out on a brand new tour, <em>Jacket Potato Pizza</em>, starting in <strong>January 2026</strong> and running through to May. Tickets and dates are available at <a href="https://bridgetchristie.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bridgetchristie.co.uk</a>.</p><br><p>It’s a warm, funny and genuinely joyful conversation with someone Emily and Ray instantly adored, and a woman who clearly has a very special bond with dogs too.</p><br><p><strong>Follow Emily:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/emilyrebeccadean" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/divine_miss_em" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X</a></p><br><p><strong>Walking The Dog</strong> is produced by <strong>Will Nichols</strong></p><p><strong>Music:</strong> Rich Jarman</p><p><strong>Artwork:</strong> Alice Ludlam</p><p><strong>Photography:</strong> Karla Gowlett</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
