Who Is Dr Nincompoop?

Behind the Scenes of The Dr Nincompoop Show

The Dr Nincompoop Show is the creative vision of Chris Falcon Hill, a seasoned children’s entertainer with a rich history in theatre and family entertainment.

Chris grew up immersed in the arts, with his mother, actor Betty Bobbitt (Judy Bryant from Prisoner), and his father, renowned bird painter Robin Hill, fostering his early creativity.

A family deeply rooted in the creative world.

But beyond the family spotlight, Chris is a one-man powerhouse.

From scriptwriting, songwriting, and puppet building to web design, video editing, and branding, every part of The Dr Nincompoop Show is lovingly crafted by Chris himself. It’s a labour of love driven by passion, experience, and a genuine desire to create unforgettable experiences for children and their families.

History:
From Parties to the Stage

Chris began his career in children’s entertainment in 2003, working as a party entertainer, donning costumes as characters like Batman and Spiderman.

This hands-on start taught him the art of engaging small audiences and holding their attention—skills that would later shape his unique approach to larger performances.

As a co-founder of The Kazoos, Chris toured extensively, performing in some of Australia’s most prestigious Performing Arts Centres, including the Whitehorse Centre, Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre, and the Singapore Drama Centre.

His shows have been highlights at major festivals like Moomba Waterfest, St Kilda Fest, and the Singapore Children’s Festival, earning acclaim for their professionalism, humour, and family-friendly appeal.

Now, with The Dr Nincompoop Show, Chris carries forward this legacy, combining his expertise with a fresh, quirky twist.
