Chris McCausland is a British comedian and actor, born on June 15, 1977, in Liverpool.

He is widely recognized for his role in the CBeebies show Me Too!. In 1996 he moved to Kingston for university to study an undergraduate degree in software engineering to become a web developer. Chris, who is blind due to retinitis pigmentosa—a condition that impairs vision in low-light conditions—has spoken candidly about his experiences.

He lost his sight at the age of 22, and in reflecting on this period, he shared, "When it started happening, it was scary and embarrassing. "I found myself in difficult situations because I was reluctant to ask for help. "I knew I would never be on a level playing field with everyone else.

"My eyesight deteriorated significantly while I was at university, and the technology available at that time wasn’t advanced enough, so I had to abandon my career path in web development."
