A graduate of University of NSW in Engineering, it was not long before Chris decided that electrical circuits were not his thing. Instead he was more interested in the comedy circuit. We’re glad that Chris realized his passion for stand-up because he has proven to be one of the funniest comedians in town. His dressing may come off as a little too colorful, but Chris describes it simply as a way of representing himself.

COMEDY GENRES

Chris’ way of dealing with the audience is not one of a typical comedian. He uses different ways and tactics to make sure no one leaves the theatre bored. His ability to read the audience helps him in achieving this. Chris is highly interactional while carrying out comedy which helps to break the ice and reduce the communication gap between him and his audience. He believes that people pay more interest when a conversation is two-sided. So be ready  to  tackle  questions  and  gags  pointed  towards you  at  any  instant  during  the  show.  His  talent  of  being hilarious about real life events that everyone can relate to never fails to hit the mark.

Having been a musician for over 30 years, Chris makes it a point to blend music into his comedy in order to bring life to his shows. The highlight of his music is its satirical nature in which exaggerated irony is used. His hilariously catchy music will leave your jaw aching with laughter. Chris prefers impromptu gags as opposed to rehearsed jokes. He comes on-stage with a hazy vision of what the show will be about and leaves the rest to his imagination. This  way,  Chris  promises  versatility  and  originality.  His  extemporaneous  one-liners  will  have  you  in  tears  and stitches.
