Comedian Chris Parker's new live show proved successful at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, and he's ready to unleash it on the Kiwis.

Parker's touring Stop Being So Dramatic around the country and he's promised the show is his most personal yet.

He says he's expected a more reserved reception from Kiwi audiences - but he knows how to work with that.

"We still have this weird mentality sometimes, we're just like 'Oh, we're just little old Kiwis, no one knows about us and we're just a team of five million at the bottom of the world'...but our sensibility, what we can laugh at is just as advanced and as complicated and robust as any international audience."
