I Can Tell
When transmasc comedian Chris McAllister started posting a joke a day, they didn't know it would result in viral hashtag trans allyship movement connecting with 4 million people. 'I Can Tell' is a smart, hilarious and hopeful story about visibility, global connection and responding to the oddest comments - with surprising results!
Known online as 'The Trans Comedian,' Chris has had a recent sold out run at Sydney Comedy Festival, toured to regional Australia and the UK and finally makes their debut at this year's Adelaide Fringe!
Chris is a bold new comedian with an unassuming wholesomeness that makes their dry wit and sharp observations pack an extra punch.
“Terrific stand up, replete with needle-sharp one-liners that puncture all parochiality”
PAUL GILCHRIST, THEATRE RED
Presented by: Chris McAllister
Chris McAllister (they/them) is a Sydney-based comedian, speaker, producer and facilitator. They are the first transmasc comedian to tour regional Australia, taking their brand of upbeat, tongue-in-cheek humour to communities less frequented with queer representation - with recent shows in Lithgow, Sunshine Coast and Bellingen.
Through their online presence they've gained a global audience and sold out shows in London and Manchester and hosted and produced online shows for US audiences.
On a mission to create opportunities for trans people to thrive, they mentor new trans comedians, who then perform in their showcase Trans Christian Anderson and Friends - which has had two successful years at Sydney Fringe.
Chris is continuing their regional tour and workshops throughout 2026.
