Hello. I’m Christopher Shevlin, and this is my website for everything not directly related to my main career*.
I set up this website in February 2012, because I wanted a place on the web that was cleaner-looking and easier to manage than my old one.
I grew up in Yorkshire, in Doncaster, but I’ve lived and worked in London since 1998. I mostly like it here. I like the freedom, the activity, the layers of history. I love dashing past beautiful buildings on my bike, and I love the fact that, whatever I get interested in, London turns out to be one of the world’s main centres of it. That happened most recently with improv, which I took up last year.
One of the great things about being freelance is that I can take time off to do things that interest me, and this site is a place for me to let people know about them.
No doubt I’ll elaborate on this as I spend more time on my website. Until then, I hope you find something here to divert you.
Chris

I’m ordering your book and look forward to it.
Is that a whisky sour you’re nurshing there?
That’s great – thanks, Mike. I hope you enjoy it. And it was good to see you again, if only briefly.
I think it’sh a Manhattan that I’m cradling, but I don’t remember very well.
