I’ve heard the expression “Stop being so dramatic” my whole life, but only now, at the culturally relevant age of 34, am I ready to address it and face these drama queen allegations head-on. Please join me, Chris Parker, for an hour of high-intensity, feverishly paced and dizzyingly expressive comedy. Sure, I’ve cried in every speech I’ve ever had to deliver publicly, and yes, there may have been a situation this year where I slept on my neck weirdly and bought myself an unnecessary neck brace. Still, I’m desperate to prove that I’m 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 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.
