Australian Comedians Tour

Chris Franklin is one of Australia’s premier comedy stars. He’s an Aussie bloke, a yobbo or a bogan, from his flannelette shirt to his double plugger thongs. His "Hoganesque" style of comedy appeals to every average Australian and touches on the delicate issues of beer, sport, and relationships. Chris started performing comedy in way back in October ’97 and in just six months had won the prestigious triple j Raw Comedy Award for Australia’s best new talent. It didn’t take him long to rise to feature status.

Chris has performed with such comedy legends as: Jimeoin, Steady Eddy, Garry Who, Carl Barron, Anh Do, Dave Hughes, Elliot Goblet, Raymond J Bartholomew, Marty Fields, The Empty Pockets, Peter Rowsthorn, Bob Franklin, Ross Daniels, Tom Green, Jim Jeffries, Stevie Starr, Mr Methane, and rock bands, The Angels, Rose Tattoo, The Screaming Jets, Yothu Yindi and The Radiators. He has even worked with international music stars like Santana, Chris Isaak, Elvis Costello, Boz Scaggs, Status Quo, Tony Joe White & Bonnie Raitt. Chris’ first CD single was released through EMI Music Australia entitled ‘Bloke’. A hilarious send up of Meredith Brooks’ song ‘Bitch’, the song landed at Number 15 first week in and

subsequently went to number one achieving platinum sales exceeding 120,000. Chris has released a further single which was nominated for “Best Comedy Release” entitled “Mullet Head” a parody of the hit single “Gimme Head” by The Radiators.

Chris’ first ‘Live DVD, ‘Let Bogans Be Bogans’, was filmed at The Athenaeum Theatre in Melbourne to a sellout crowd.
