Chris Parker | Bread & Circus – World Buskers Festival 2020

The Crown Prince of Comedy returns to Christchurch.

NZ’s gay, young (29) son, Chris Parker, is fleeing back home to Christchurch with his camp, high-impact hour of comedy. It's 2020 and he is finally ready to make an icon out of himself.

Join Chris for an hour of stories, jokes, songs, dances and, most importantly, wigs, all inspired by his greatest icons (Garland, Streisand, Parton, Lupone...). Who knows, maybe he will even make an icon of himself in the process?

As seen on 7 Days, Jono and Ben, Funny Girls, The Maly Gayz, Golden Boy and Have You Been Paying Attention.

Welcome to Bread & Circus 2020!

High-end entertainment, abundant feasts and newfound experiences return to Ōtautahi Christchurch. As balmy days return and Hine Raumati brings her abundant bounty to our region, we look forward to revelling in the sunshine of this summer festival with you.

With a programme jam-packed with 42 shows by 60 artists from all around the world, as well as right here in New Zealand, there’s spectacle for everyone.

Headline show Blanc de Blanc makes its Christchurch debut direct from a triumphant season in Las Vegas. This circus cabaret sensation is from the same mad-genius makers as last years’ Spiegeltent smash-hit, LIMBO - an absolute must see. And look out for the Big Festival Galas returning to Isaac Theatre Royal, variety shows bringing you the best of the festival.

Get ready to explore the spectacular!
