Chris Parker - Brisbane Comedy Festival

The multi-award-winning NZ comedian and self-proclaimed people's princess of Aotearoa, Chris Parker, is back in 2024 with a brand new show with a really long title, Give Me One Good Reason Why I Shouldn’t Throw My Phone Off This Bridge.

It was seeing a sponsored post for 'exercise shorts with a built-in jockstrap' that Chris Parker felt he had finally reached his limit with social media. If this is something the algorithm thinks Chris is interested in, then clearly, it needs to track his data deeper. Things haven't been good for Chris and his phone for a while now, with them currently trialling sleeping in different rooms - so a break-up is on the cards. He's done with social media, content and all the kids on TikTok who are obsessed with diagnosing him with ADHD.

That Feeling When… you owe everything you have to social media, but, you also want to throw your phone off the tallest bridge you can find.
