On the Couch with Christopher Colley

Christopher Colley AAR On the CouchWho is Christopher Colley?
Me? My name is Christopher Colley. I’m an Actor and Writer from Perth, Western Australia, but now living in Sydney! Take me out for a drink if you want to know any more.

What would you do differently from what you do now?
Don’t make me start thinking parallel universes and alternative realities…

Who inspires you and why?
Right now – It’s all the insanely talented theatre performers in Sydney! From Belvoir to KXT to The Grand Electric (all my stomping grounds)… and OBVIOUSLY, Qtopia Sydney!

What would you do to make a difference in the world?
Always be nice to hospitality workers.

Favourite holiday destination and why?
Croatia… It’s the motherland.

When friends come to town, what attraction would you take them to, and why?
TBH I’m still a tourist in Sydney, so someone show me around!

What are you currently reading?
I just finished The Midnight Library by Matt Haig and attempted to start A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, but the horny fairies didn’t do it for me…

What are you currently listening to?
In preparation for the show, I’ve made a playlist called Guitar Hero – Legends of Rock. It’s basically… well literally, all the songs from the Xbox game that I played when I was an angsty, shit-head teenager.

Happiness is?
A butterfly.

What does the future hold for you?
Hopefully more acting! Soooooo come watch Chasing Dick!


Christopher can be seen in Chasing Dick: A Love Story – which will be presented at The Loading Dock Theatre – Qtopia Sydney, from 4 – 15 February 2025.
