SHOWS – FRASER HOOPER

Funny Business

Guaranteed giggles galore from internationally award-winning funnyman Fraser Hooper. With a nod to the great silent clowns this hilarious show features a stunt duck, a human fish, eccentric dancing, and the silliest boxing match you have ever seen. So get a ringside seat for a belly aching knockout performance.

"But best of all and, certainly on tonight’s evidence, the indisputably deserving winner of The Press’s ‘Iron Chicken’ award, Fraser Hooper (UK/NZ) serves up a truly unforgettable combination of slapstick, comic timing, story-line and exceptionally effective use of five audience recruits. For this act, it’s impossible to convey the originality, atmosphere and humour in writing – you had to be there, and I’m glad I was."

"He teases his giggling audience and the more he takes the mickey the more they laugh. A most charismatic clown." Time Out UK

"Mid-afternoon in the chilly Spiegeltent is not an easy gig, but Fraser’s perfect comic timing, his mix of charm and cheek, warmed us all up."

"Funny business" was all part of Fraser Hooper's somewhat risky audience involvement schtick, but it proved effective, bringing about belly laughs aplenty. It was impossible not to laugh. Fortunately, while milking their mistakes, the clown also had the knack of artfully managing his "guests" to mitigate any embarrassment, and no egos were harmed in the making of this hilarity."
