Chris Parker
ABOUT THE SHOW
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?

Chris tours his award winning shows nationally and internationally to sell out crowds at.
