Evan Hocking: Evan Is A Place On Earth

StarStarStarHalf Star

"Hocking offers up something for every Aussie who has ever been to Bali, attempted to buy jeans or has simply been in a relationship."

Affable, raw, goofy and sometimes graphic, Evan Hocking might be most aptly described as a young, up-and-coming Dave Hughes — minus the gappy teeth.

If Evan is indeed a place on earth, it's a pretty jovial location. Radiating friendly vibes, the pool cleaner-cum-comedian strings together an entertaining series of life observations, personal yarns and standard digs at the western suburbs to deliver a feelgood and peppy show. Typically self-deprecating (or maybe just honest?) Hocking offers up something for every Aussie who has ever been to Bali, attempted to buy jeans or has simply been in a relationship. Sure you won't be rolling on the floor, begging for the gags to cease, but you will leave a whole lot more hysterical than when you arrived with your $6 glass of wine in hand.
