Greg Cooper
‘If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they’ll kill you.’ Oscar Wilde.
Greg started his professional performance career 18 years ago at The Court Theatre in Christchurch as a member of the improvised corporate entertainment company The Court Jesters. He went on to represent Christchurch in two national improvised comedy competitions and New Zealand in festivals in London, Berlin, Montreal, Orlando, Amsterdam, and the World Championships in Los Angeles, where he was a member of the winning team in 1995.
Greg moved to Auckland eight years ago and has kept busy with performing, directing, voice-over work and writing. He has entertained at hundreds of corporate events in New Zealand and Australia as a freelance performer.
Greg is a Creative Director with ConArtists and enjoys working with clients large and small to create unique and memorable entertainment events.
Other highlights of his time in Auckland have been playing a pot smoking motorcyclist on Shortland Street and Heroic Fawn Number One in the Disney film ‘The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe’. Both these characters are available for corporate events although Greg hasn’t had any takers to date.
