READ NOWChris has worked in a range of industries and fell into stand-up comedy by accident.
"The comedian thing just happened," he said.
"I was forced on stage by a stand-up comedian who had been on TV.
"That was 15 years ago."
Since Bloke made platinum in 2000, Chris has released other songs.
"But I think everyone's figured out I can't actually sing by now," he said.
Chris recommended people should try becoming comedians.
"People say stand-up is the hardest job in the world; it isn't, it's the easiest," he said.
"Im lazy and I get to do a job where I work four hours a week and get to enjoy a beer at the end of it."
Stand-up comedian Mike Goldstein " Mike G " will be MC.
Mike G is a young talent on the international comedy circuit. He has performed in Asia, South Africa and the UK.
Peter Helliar describes Mike G as "one funny dude."
