Rhys Nicholson: Huge Big Party Congratulations
There’s no doubt that Rhys Nicholson is a shining star of the Australian comedy scene. Not only are they at the top of their stand-up game, but they’re also all over our local and international screens. Between their gigs as a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under, a contestant on Taskmaster Australia and an actor on The Imperfects, they’ve got range, too. Add in the fact that Nicholson has recently published a book of essays called Dish: Spiels, Scoops, Emotional Outbursts and the Occasional Recipe, and we’re honestly not sure how they have time to eat or sleep. Nicholson won Most Outstanding Show for the 2022 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Time Out rated their most recent MICF show Rhy! Rhys! Rhys! an immaculate five stars. This time around, their show is called Huge Big Party Congratulations, and it looks like you’ll have to go along for yourself to find out exactly what it’s about. To be fair, with credentials like Nicholson’s, we’d probably fork out to watch them read a newspaper aloud. Tickets for Huge Big Party Congratulations are now on sale via the MICF website.
