Chris Parker – Take a Good Hard Look at Me
Chris Parker returns to Melbourne with a show built around life getting a little more serious – or at least, that’s the idea. With new responsibilities (including becoming a dog parent), he dives into what adulthood is supposed to look like.
In Take A Good Hard Look At Me, the show follows one very normal February day, told hour by hour, as he moves through his routines, distractions and the overthinking that comes with it. From therapy, to the whimsy of cafes, the feeling of fresh bedsheets, and getting into swimming, it’s a snapshot of everyday life that never quite stays ordinary for long.
Along the way, Parker tackles everything from brands jumping on Pride, to the realities of his own personal life in Central Auckland; tying it all together with a perspective that feels both self-aware and completely unfiltered.
