"Quite dizzying": Chris Parker unpacks the millennial mindset in new tour

The self-proclaimed People’s Princess of Aotearoa, Chris Parker is bringing his latest tour back home. 

Though he came into many people’s lives during lockdown, when his videos started going viral, he’s been a part of the Kiwi comedy scene for a lot longer, winning multiple awards at the NZ International Comedy Festival.  

He’s appeared on TV shows, podcasts, and performed a lot of comedy – selling out shows in New Zealand, Australia, London, and Edinburgh. 

And after taking his latest show ‘Take a Good Hard Look at Me’ to three of the four aforementioned locations, Parker’s finally bringing it back to New Zealand in September.  

The show is set on the 10th of February, 2026 – a deeply ordinary and uneventful day in the grand scheme of things. 

“I was trying to, I guess like, hit this feeling,” Parker explained to Heather du Plessis-Allan. 

“Where it does feel like, on one scale everything is really like... feels life-threatening and like, end of the movie sort of stakes, and then on the other end of the spectrum it’s like our day to day lives... when you’re 35, it can be quite boring.” 

“It’s quite dizzying.”
