About
Trained at RADA and Lecoq, working since 2013
I'm a RADA-trained actor from Swindon, famed for its roundabouts. I've performed across the West End, London, Edinburgh, Paris and Tokyo, and worked with Disney, National Geographic, Hulu and the BBC. I've filmed ads for Virgin Media, Mitsubishi, ASICS, Lufthansa and Pinterest, among others.
I've been nominated for an OffWestEnd award for Best Male and was selected for the Kevin Spacey Foundation UK Company. I also run Get Social, a games and live events company, and founded No Sex Gay Weekend, a travel and events business with a press record in the UK, Sweden and the US.
A full CV is on my Spotlight page, and screen credits on IMDb.

A few reviews
★★★★
“Adams gives a stand out performance as the architect of chaos, charming and chaotic in equal measure.”
LondonTheatre1, on White Noise ★★★★
“Christopher Adams gives a restrained and well-judged performance as Jack, conveying much with posture and intonation as he negotiates the complexities of intimacy and independence.”
The Stage, on Punts ★★★★★
“Christopher Adams is just knock out as Jack. This was character acting at its best.”
LondonTheatre1, on Punts ★★★★★
“Adams' moving and delightfully earnest performance.”
BroadwayWorld, on Punts ★★★★
“Christopher Adams plays Jack's disability with skill and such care. He steals the show from the very first scene.”
The National Student, on Punts ★★★★
“Playing a man with mental disabilities is a tricky proposition and runs the risk of derailing into stereotypes. In Adams' hands, Jack isn't 'just' a disability, he's a character with a fully formed personality and recognisable tics.”
London City Nights, on Punts ★★★★★
“Christopher Adams manages the nuanced changes from sweet everyman to shifty possible pervert with aplomb, never allowing Adam to get too unlikeable. This is a pitch perfect production.”
Fairy Powered Productions, on Adam & Eve ★★★★
“Christopher Adams excels as Camillo, also playing Mamillius, Antigonus and the Second Gentleman with skilful clarity, moving from child to man with confident flair.”
Operissima, on The Winter's Tale ★★★★★
“Truly impressive. Fizzing with energy, he displays vulnerability, anger, cattiness, wit, flamboyance, and beneath it all sincere grief. A natural and absolute command of the stage, and a gift for comedy as well as real emotion.”
