Comedian Chris Parker is bringing his new show, Lots of Love, to Palmerston North on June 16.
First came love, then came marriage _ now, as a 32-year-old, childless inner-city-living homosexual, Parker is naturally wondering what’s next. A purebred dachshund is on the cards, but there are fears he could become one of those people who treats his dog like a child and forces friends to come over to celebrate doggo’s first birthday.
The self-proclaimed People’s Princess of Aotearoa, Parker is most commonly known for his funny Instagram and TikTok videos that built him a huge social media audience. Also, his win on the hit New Zealand TV show, Celebrity Treasure Island, and, most strangely, a felted hat he made during the 2020 nationwide lockdown that was then acquired by Te Papa.
In 2022, he released the comedy/documentary special for TVNZ, Chris Parker: Back To School, about an all-boys schools in Christchurch, and also starred in the New Zealand feature film Nude Tuesday. His debut novel, Here for a Good Time, is now out through Allen & Unwin.
Parker was the recipient of the inaugural Topp Prize awarded by the New Zealand Comedy Trust for Aotearoa’s most generous and gifted comedian.
