Chris Parker is a New Zealand stand-up comedian known for his appearances on Taskmaster New Zealand and Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee. In his Edinburgh Festival Fringe show he describes himself simply as a 35-year-old gay man who was told there was something special about him as a kid, now standing in front of an audience asking them to take a good hard look at him. The show is presented by Berk's Nest in association with Jubilee Street Management at Pleasance Two, runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Self-deprecating, disarming and sharp, Parker's show promises the kind of comedy that makes you laugh and makes you feel something. His honest framing — a man asking an audience to really look at him — sets up something more vulnerable and surprising than a typical stand-up hour.
