If the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Rhys Nicholson is snappy suits, candy-apple hair and square glasses, then you need to get to know him better. The Sydney-based comedian has cultivated a huge following with his super-intelligent and biting observational comedy and no-holds-barred reflections on his life – all of which he delivers at breakneck pace.
Last year, Nicholson's show was nominated for the illustrious Barry Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. To that, he says: "Why not come and watch me desperately try and back that up this year? C'mon. Why wouldn't you?"
