Chris Franklin is an Australian comedy legend behind the platinum-selling parody Bloke.

In Episode 78 of The Lui Diaz Podcast, Lui sits down with Chris to chat about his platinum-selling parody single Bloke and his serendipitous journey from Navy cook to comedy icon. The conversation traces his life’s ups and downs, from battling alcohol issues and living on his cousin’s floor to winning the Raw Comedy competition and almost haphazardly achieving fame.
