Christina Van Look - burst onto the Sydney comedy scene eight years ago and continues to delight audiences from Melbourne, New York, London and Toongabbie.
Her humour varies from hilariously self-deprecating to bitingly sardonic but her punchlines are delivered with a relaxed smile that makes her a favourite wherever she performs. Christina is renowned for her rapid-fire jokes about celebrities (Kim K would sue if she could actually understand the joke), parenting as a competitive sport and why you need to visit a sex shop at least once in your life. She has spent an extended period performing comedy in New York where she recently performed at Gotham Comedy Club and the Comedy Cellar. She also featured on The Darren Sanders Show on Foxtel’s Aurora.
“Christina Van Look is one terrifically funny woman. Nothing is as refreshing as a mother with a disdain for children.” – Rick Crom (Louis CK, Inside Amy Schumer)
“One of the funniest women in comedy.” – Mikey Robbins (Good News Week)
