Chris Franklin is an Australian stand up comedian and former Sailor for the Royal Australian Navy. He is most famous for writing the song 'Bloke' (a bogan parody of Meredith Brooks' feminist anthem Bitch), which made it to #1 on the ARIA Charts in 2000. Chris is an Aussie bloke, a yobbo or a bogan - from his flannelette shirt to his double plugger thongs. His "Hoganesque" style of comedy appeals to every average Australian. Chris is one of Australia's best feature comedians whose comedy touches on the delicate issues of beer, sport and relationships. Chris lived in Papua New Guinea during his younger years and then joined the Royal Australian Navy where he spent the next eight years. He is a qualified chef, who was one of seven people chosen to cook for the Queen during her visit to Australia in the 80's. Chris then decided the Navy wasn't for him and took ten years 'off' to travel Australia. Chris has now been performing comedy since
