Claire Hooper began her career on stage, creating captivating and innovative live shows that fused stand-up comedy, theatre, and even some hammer dancing.
For four years, Claire was a team captain on the iconic comedy show Good News Week, sharing the screen with Paul McDermott and Mikey Robbins.
In 2015, Claire landed her dream role as co-host of The Great Australian Bake Off on Foxtel’s LifeStyle Channel, alongside the hilarious Mel Buttle and judges Maggie Beer and Matt Moran. The show's fourth season aired in 2019. This baking theme also inspired Claire's brilliant solo show, “Biscuits,” which she performed at the Adelaide Fringe in 2020.
In 2021, Claire hit the ground running with a regular co-hosting role on Channel Ten’s The Project and her involvement with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. She also returned as the moderator for the fan-favourite event, “The Great Debate.”
One of Claire Hooper’s proudest achievements to date is the release of her debut children’s book, Princess Benjamina Has A Very Cheeky Bum, in 2021. She has thoroughly enjoyed sharing the joy of this book with children across the country.
A highly sought-after MC, Claire has hosted events for prominent companies such as Telstra, The City of Melbourne, The Professionals, The Australian Women’s Leadership Symposium, and many more.
