How about a nice little hour where we pretend the last couple years haven’t happened, yeah? That sounds nice doesn’t it? Yeah. A nice little comedy show with your ol’ pal Rhys. Lovely.
Red hot off the stage from winning Most Outstanding Showat the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, hosting the Melbourne Comedy Gala, judging Ru Paul’s Drag Race Down Under and releasing his Netflix comedy special Rhys Nicholson: Live at the Athenaeum (phew!) - the sharply dressed and even sharper-witted Rhys Nicholson returns to Tāmaki Makaurau for one night only at Q Theatre.
This is Rhys’ first show back in Aotearoa since hosting the Best Foods Comedy Gala and selling out his entire run in 2019, where he won audiences over with his rapid fire routines. Get in quick, this will sell fast.
