HAVE a laugh with the king of bogan comedy Chris Franklin at Salt House on Friday.

Beloved Townsville-based comedian Chris Franklin returns north to Cairns tomorrow for another comedy-dinner at Salt House. Franklin is the king of Australian bogan comedy, known for his chart-topping single Bloke.

Since then, he's taken a swag of awards and accolades, including the PBS Radio Golden Storm Award for Best Up & Coming Comedian and a Double Platinum Award from ARIA for Bloke.
