Chris Parker: Stop Being So Dramatic!

  • Comedy
  • Entertainment

Sure, Chris may have cried in every speech he’s ever had to deliver publicly, and yes, there may have been a situation this year where he slept on his neck weirdly and bought himself an unnecessary neck brace. Still, he’s desperate to prove that he’s really chill and down to earth. So, what better way to get you to understand that than with a one-man variety hour spectacle chill stand-up comedy hour

Building on this momentum, 2024 saw Chris host the New Zealand Comedy Festival Galas, tour his latest show, Give Me One Good Reason Why I Shouldn't Throw My Phone Off This Bridge, to full houses throughout Australia and New Zealand, make his prime-time Australian TV debut on Thank God You’re Here (where he won the episode), and release the highly anticipated second season of Double Parked.
