Adelaide Comedy - Chris Franklin
Need a laugh to get you through the week? Here's a great option - Wednesday night at The Marion Hotel, or Thursday at the Tea Tree Gully Hotel.
This is a celebration - Chris Franklin is turning 50! And he's celebrating with everyone who comes along. Chris 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 relationship.
Chris' first CD single was released on January 31, 2000 through EMI Music Australia entitled 'Bloke'. A hilarious send up of Meredith Brooks' song 'Bitch', the song landed at Number 15 first week in ad subsequently went to number one achieving platinum sales exceeding 120,000.
Chris has released a further single which was nominated in the 2001 Aria Awards for 'Best Comedy Release' entitled 'Mullet Head' a parody of the hit single 'Gimme Head' by THe Radiators.
His TV credits include The Footy Show, Headliners, Recovery, Stand Up Australia & Good News Week (among others).
The night features other comedians too - come along, have a laugh on us!
Funtastic night :D
