Kiwi funnyman Chris Parker returns to Australia in 2026 with his brand new show Take A Good Look At Me.
His latest tour follows last year’s Stop Being So Dramatic, which saw Parker perform to sold-out crowds throughout Australia, New Zealand, London and Edinburgh.
Taking to social media, Parker had this to say about his upcoming tour, “Australia, our obsession with each other is only growing stronger. I’m coming back in 2026 to tour my brand new comedy hour Take A Good Hard Look at Me.
“This new show does what it says on the tin - an opportunity for me to get up on stage in front of some bright lights in order for you to take a good hard look at me.
”As a way to hold myself accountable to staying honest and real with you all in 2026 I’ve also included a gorgeous video my husband took of me the other night. It’s the real me. Take a good hard look at it, and then book a ticket to one of the many shows I’m putting on next year in your fine country.”
