Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on November 05, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Chris Addison! May your day be filled with more laughs than a Mock the Week panel trying to guess what politicians are really thinking. Your razor-sharp wit and impeccable comedic timing have given us countless memorable moments—whether you're brilliantly skewering current events or masterfully navigating the chaos of political satire in The Thick of It and In the Loop.

Here's hoping your birthday is as timelessly entertaining as Malcolm Tucker's legendary rants (minus all the swearing, perhaps). Keep making us laugh until our sides hurt; after all, laughter is cheaper than therapy—and far more enjoyable. Cheers!
