About Chris Brooker
Out of Nowhere! is an all-new hour of stand-up and storytelling from Chris Brooker, a veteran of the UK comedy circuit. After two decades, thousands of shows and countless miles, Brooker turns his attention to the question of success — what it means, whether he has achieved it, and whether this might be the year he writes an eighth joke. The 60-minute show plays at Hoot 4 and is suitable for ages 16 and over, priced at £8.
Why see this show?
Chris Brooker has been doing this for over twenty years and the show knows it — the comedy is grounded in hard-earned experience and genuine self-questioning. An hour of thoughtful stand-up from someone who has earned the right to ask what success really looks like.
