About this show
Hello! I won't sugar coat it in the blurb. I'm just a 35-year-old gay man, who was told there was something special about him as a kid, standing in front of an audience asking them to take a good hard look at me! The New Zealand superstar stand-up (Taskmaster New Zealand, Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee) returns to the Fringe! 'By the time the show ends, you'll have sore sides from laughing' (NZ Herald). 'Chris Parker is the real deal, a brilliant comedian who will leave you scream-laughing' * (Time Out).
