PROFILE
Claire Hooper had a busy first few years in comedy, as a Raw Comedy national finalist in 2004, a coveted spot on the Melbourne Comedy Festival’s Comedy Zone in 2005, and a Best Newcomer Nomination in 2006.
For four years Claire shared a set with Paul McDermott and Mikey Robbins on the iconic comedy show Good News Week as a team captain.
Claire hosted 5 seasons The Great Australian Bake Off for Foxtel’s LifeStyle Channel alongside the seriously funny Mel Buttle, and has been seen on Channel Ten’s The Project, ABC’s The Weekly, Question Everything and Spicks & Specks, SBS’ Celebrity Letters & Numbers and Channel Ten’s Would I Lie To You?
Claire is an accomplished podcaster, with 3 seasons of ABC’s acclaimed show The Pineapple Project under her belt, plus her own podcast “I’m the Worst with Claire Hooper” where she delves into the darkest secrets of her comedy mates.
Claire is also a children’s book author, a comedy director and (though it’s unlikely to be relevant) a qualified garden designer.
Her latest stand up comedy show So Proud recently toured the country, and her Melbourne Comedy Festival season won her the Piece of Wood Award.
