Chris Franklin

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 relationships.

Chris started performing comedy 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. His accomplishments are outstanding and they include:

Chris has performed with: Jimeoin, Steady Eddy, Garry Who, Carl Barron, Anh Do, Elliot Goblet, Raymond J Bartholomew, Marty Fields, The Empty Pockets, Peter Rowsthorn, Bob Franklin, Ross Daniels, Stevie Starr, Mr Methane, and rock bands, The Angels, Rose Tattoo, The Screaming Jets, Yothu Yindi and The Radiators, (just to name a few).

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 and 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 to date include:

Chris’ new C.D. ‘Don’t Drink My Stubbie’ is due for release in March ’09 and he is currently working on his first comedy feature film ‘The Bloke Goes To Hollywood’ being shot on location in Melbourne and Hollywood.
