Chris Parker is the outspoken, witty and charming personality famous for his charismatic sketches of life in lockdown. Since then, he has been crowned the winner of Celebrity Treasure Island, had his lockdown felting project bought by Auckland Museum, featured on the latest season of Taskmaster and performed sold-out stand-up shows across NZ. His insights on life as a larger than life openly gay, unapologetically camp man in Aotearoa will have you laughing and relating.
His new book allows readers to take Chris home with them for a pick-me-up whenever they need it. He will be in conversation with Nick Holm senior lecturer in Media Studies at Massey University
