Rhys Nicholson is a Multi-award winning Australian stand-up, writer, podcaster, and collager. After moving to Sydney in 2009 at the age of 18, Rhys was very enthusiastic but had limited success as a comedian until 2012 when he won the Best Newcomer award at the Sydney Comedy Festival. For a few years Rhys quietly plodded along performing all over the place, trying to get better and not doing anything particularly special until 2016 when he was selected to perform at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala, he sold out his run, received a nomination for the illustrious Melbourne Comedy Festival Award for Best Show and went on to sell out shows throughout Australia and the UK. Also, that year, to highlight the importance of marriage equality in Australia, Rhys publicly married lesbian and fellow comedian Zoe Coombs Marr at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Zoe won the award for best show. Rhys is fine with that.
