British comedian Chris McCausland has been named the host of Absolute Radio's new Sunday morning show, with his first show airing July 5.

McCausland commented 'I'm not on tour at the minute, so I'm just fancy free and footloose, and I'm an early riser anyway; the older I get, the earlier I wake up. So, I'm looking forward to it, to be there as part of people's Sunday morning, filling their ears with drivel while they're driving round and trying to avoid doing anything productive. That's a win for me'.
