Claire Hooper started on the stage – crafting engaging, innovative live shows that blended stand-up, theatre and some hammer dancing.
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.
In 2015 Claire Hooper scored her dream job, as co-host of The Great Australian Bake Off for Foxtel’s LifeStyle Channel alongside the seriously funny Mel Buttle, as well as judges Maggie Beer and Matt Moran and their fourth season aired in 2019. This theme carried through to Claire’s brilliant solo show “Biscuits” which she performed to audiences at Adelaide Fringe 2020.
Claire Hooper hit 2021 running with a regular co-hosting role on Channel Ten’s The Project as well as her involvement with the 2021 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Claire returned this year as moderator for fan-favourite event “The Great Debate”.
Last but not least, in what is possibly Claire Hooper’s proudest achievement to date, her debut children’s book Princess Benjamina Has A Very Cheeky Bum was released in 2021. Claire has loved sharing the joy of this book with kids all around the country.
A sought after MC, Claire Hooper has hosted events for companies such as Telstra, The City of Melbourne, The Professionals, The Australian Women’s Leadership Symposium and many more.
