Chris Parker owes a lot to his phone. Posting impressions of his mum buying him school shoes and him felting woodland creatures, has made him a household name and led to a bidding war to immortalise him at the Auckland Museum. But while things seem rosy, the truth is they’ve been rocky for a while… after he was served up a sponsored post for 'exercise shorts with a built-in jockstrap', Chris is starting to wonder if his phone really knew him at all.
He’s sick of social media, making “content”, and being diagnosed with ADHD by a kid on TikTok every 15 mins. So, he’s made a show about that feeling we are too familiar with, the one that combines our intense love for our phones with the overwhelming urge to throw it off the tallest bridge you can find.
Hot off the back of his nationwide tour, this encore performance can't be missed! 2 shows only!
