About this listen

Comedian Chris Parker brings his brilliant comic wit to this book.

Star of stand-up, winner of Celebrity Treasure Island and lockdown Instagram sensation, Chris Parker shares a series of short stories, essays and musings.

Chris has made a name for himself as an outspoken, witty and charming personality who is consistently exceeding his own and others' expectations. Be it his lockdown felting journey, which saw him creating a felt hat that was bought by Auckland Museum for their permanent collection, or winning Celebrity Treasure Island thanks to his knowledge of his garden's exotic weeds, or just living the dream as a larger than life openly gay unapologetically camp man in Aotearoa. Chris can turn his mind to anything and he's ready to share his insights on the world.

Chris Parker has built a large audience with his charismatic storytelling and online video sketches. Here for a Good Time allows you to take Chris home for a much-needed pick me up whenever you need.

Chris Parker is one of New Zealand's most prominent comedians, and an active voice of the LGBTQ community in Aotearoa. Chris has featured as both a writer and actor on numerous television comedy shows. Chris is also a regular face on comedy panel shows like 7 Days and Have You Been Paying Attention.

Loved It! 5 Stars

Amazing! Full of kiwi nostalgia and memories of growing up in NZ, had all the feels. So glad Chris was the Narrator. Loved it all bar the last chapter where he was referring to himself in the third person made it hard to follow, also the timeline of the stories is a tad to and fro. But otherwise definitely recommend! 5 Stars

loved it!

I loved this book! If you a child of the 90s especially, one who grew up in
Christchurch NZ then this book will bring tears of laughter and feeling of warm to your heart.
I bought the hard copy to this book but due to having two small children I never got a chance to read it, however being able to listen to it as great.

Audible version it is!

Written like a comedy show, it took you in a journey without the straight forward version of “how I met my husband” or “my coming out story”. But best of all, the audible version was better than any internal dialogue I could’ve done. Love your work, Chris
